Vanilla Caramel Swirl Banana Splits
This Vanilla Caramel Swirl Ice Cream can stand on it’s own. Take it up a notch and make a banana split!
When researching this recipe I found that most recipes wanted me to make the caramel from scratch. I have a confession to make I can not make caramel (the old fashioned way)! That got me to thinking what I could use in place of homemade caramel and that was (caramel) Dulce de Leche. I could eat this stuff right out of the can!
So I took my favorite vanilla ice cream recipe and added TWO cans of Dulce de Leche. And oh no…..that wasn’t enough I decided to add bananas, whip cream, chopped nuts and a cherry for FABULOUS Vanilla Caramel Swirl Banana Splits!

Sheryl, banana splits were always my favorite thing when I was growing up and I haven’t had one in SO long! This looks so delicious and I want one! 🙂 Thanks for sharing and pinned – happy Monday!
Thanks Cindy, It’s definitely worth having one again. 🙂
We have a family ice cream making competition each summer and we love trying to beat everyone with an amazing new creation. Can you believe I’ve never tried Dulce de Leche? I think that is going to have to be in our ice cream this year! Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Yay Julie! I’m sure you’ll win. 🙂
Oh, my goodness, this is gorgeous for summer! You had me at Dulce de Leche….and then you used TWO cans. Swoon! 😀
lol Joy. I know! TWO cans. It was awesome! 🙂
This would be a real hit with my family, Sheryl! I’m digging the Dulce de Leche in the ice cream!
Thanks Jamie, It was tasty and I love how easy the recipe is. 🙂
Wow, now that is the perfect banana split Sheryl! I can just imagine how rich and creamy it is! 🙂
The best part is all the caramel! 🙂
I LOVE caramel and this ice cream looks fantastic! Especially with bananas!!!
My favorite by far. 🙂
yummy…oh so yummy! I don’t want to ever close this tab now, because I want it.
I tried making homemade caramel the other day to make snickers, didn’t turn out so well, so I don’t blame you using the canned stuff.
I’ve tried at least 3 times Adelina. No success so far. They make it look so easy on the cooking shows. 🙂
