Mayan Banana Ice Cream Pie Recipes

Steps:

• - line a pie plate with wax paper, hanging over the edges for "handles".
• - mix together crust ingredients and press into the bottom and sides of the pie plate.
• - slice bananas and layer over top of the crust and up the sides.
• - mix together cream cheese, Cool Whip and cinnamon, then fold in the chocolate chips.
• - Put it in the freezer overnight to freeze.
• - When ready to serve, take out of freezer and grab the wax paper "handles" to remove pie to a cutting board.
• - Use a hot knife to slice into 8 and serve drizzle with chocolate syrup and crushed walnuts!

Steps:

• Pulse the cookies, coconut and butter in a food processor until finely ground. Press into the bottom and halfway up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Slice the bananas and arrange in a layer over the crust. Freeze until the crust sets, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, let the vanilla ice cream soften at room temperature.
• Spread the vanilla ice cream evenly over the banana layer. Freeze until firm, about 2 hours. Let the chocolate ice cream soften at room temperature, then spread over the vanilla layer. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 2 hours.
• Remove the pie from the freezer 20 minutes before serving. Beat the cream and confectioners' sugar with a mixer until soft peaks form, then spread over the pie. Top with toasted coconut, if desired.

Steps:

• Mix cookie crumbs with melted butter. Press into a 9-inch pie plate.
• Arrange bananas over bottom of crust. Spread ice cream in an even layer over bananas. Top with drained pineapple. Whip the cream and spread over top. Sprinkle with nuts.
• Place pie in freezer for 4 hours or until firm. Garnish with cherries, if desired. Makes 8 servings.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, use a large fork or a potato masher to mash the bananas well. Add the condensed milk and mash again until the two are well combined. The mixture should be fairly smooth and only slightly lumpy.
• Using a silicone spatula, stir in the vanilla, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whip attachment or a handheld mixer, whip the heavy cream to medium peaks. Add about 1/4 of the whipped cream to the banana mixture and stir with the spatula to fully combine. (This lightens the mixture, making it easier to fold in the remaining whipped cream without losing too much aeration.)
• Add the remaining whipped cream in 2 to 3 additions, folding gently just to combine. Add all but 3 tablespoons of the crumbled wafer cookies to the mixture and gently fold them in until incorporated.
• Pour the mixture into a 9-by-9-inch pan and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle the reserved vanilla wafers evenly on top. Cover the ice cream with plastic wrap, gently pressing the wrap into the surface of the ice cream, and transfer to the freezer.
• Freeze the mixture until firm, at least 6 hours. Before serving, let the ice cream soften at room temperature for 10 minutes before scooping.
