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.
