Ice Cream Sundae Pie

Crush vanilla wafers until they are small crumbs. Pour crumbs into bowl. Add one stick of melted butter and stir to combine. Spread 2/3 of wafer mixture in the bottom of a 9×13 inch pan, pressing firmly to form the crust. Chill for 15 minutes.

Spread the softened ice cream on top of the crust. I use vanilla bean, but any other type of ice cream works. Slice bananas into rounds and place on top of the ice cream, trying to cover the ice cream as completely as possible. Freeze for 2 hours.

While ice cream is freezing, make the chocolate fudge sauce by melting the chocolate chips, remaining stick of butter, evaporated milk and powdered sugar in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a soft rolling boil and cook while stirring continuously for about 4 minutes, or until chocolate sauce is thick. Cool completely.

Spread chocolate sauce over the ice cream pie, and sprinkle the remaining wafer mix over the chocolate. Freeze for 8 hours.

Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before cutting. Cut into squares and serve topped with whipped cream, a cherry, and nuts.
