So how do I make this Banoffee Ice Cream Sundae from scratch?
To make this ice cream sundae, we will need a few different ingredients;
- Salted Caramel Ice Cream
- Whipped Cream
- Caramel Sauce
- Fresh Banana
- Crushed Biscuits
Salted Caramel Ice Cream
For the salted caramel ice cream, you can make your own if you wish. You can take a peek at my recipe for a No Churn Salted Dulce De Leche Ice Cream if you wish. You can buy this, of course, if you don’t have the inclination to make your own. Some delicious examples of this could be;
- Tesco Salted Caramel Ice Cream
- Carte D’or Salted Caramel Ice Cream
- SuperValu Salted Caramel Ice Cream
- Mullin’s Premium Salted Caramel Ice Cream (Small Irish Business)
- Boulabon Farm Caramel & Sea Salt Ice Cream (Handmade – Small Irish Business)
- Cream of the Crop Banoffee Pie Gelato (Zero Waste Small Irish Business)
- Cream of the Crop Sea Salt Caramel Brownie (Zero Waste Small Irish Business)
Whipped Cream
To make the whipped cream, simply add the cream and icing sugar into a mixing bowl. Whisk, using a hand whisk or electric whisk, until the cream is thick and hold it’s shape. You can skip this step by buying already whipped cream either in a tub or in a squirty bottle.
Caramel Sauce

Fresh Banana
This is a little self explanatory, just fresh banana sliced up. I prefer to choose a banana that is just about ripe so the texture is still a little firm and not mushy. However, if you prefer very ripe bananas that are a little softer, go on ahead. This banoffee ice cream sundae can be made with your spin on it!
Crushed Biscuits
When it comes to a traditional banoffee, the typical biscuit choice is McVities Digestives. If you prefer a sweeter crumb, you could choose McVities Rich Tea Biscuits. Ultimately, you can choose whatever your favourite biscuit it, or whatever you have in the kitchen! To crush the biscuits, add them to a food processor and pulse until you create crumbs. Alternatively, if you don’t have a food processor or don’t want to have to wash it, you can place your biscuits into a ziploc bag and bash it with a rolling pin until you get crumbs.
