In the early days of the banana split dessert recipe, when the recipe was first created by David Evans Strickler who was only 23 years old at the time, they only cost a mere ten cents. Only ten cents could buy you a mountain of ice cream with all of the most amazing toppings on it. This was back in 1904 that the banana split recipe was created. David was a pharmacist at Tassel Pharmacy in Latrobe, Pennsylvania at the time and loved creating new and exciting sundae recipes at the pharmacy's soda fountain. Before refrigeration, ice cream was also kept cool in a soda fountain that was placed in the store. People used to believe that mineral sodas gave health benefits to people in the early days, and so soda fountains became regularly seen and used in many different establishments throughout the years. Even though the health benefits of soda were not shown, it brought people a lot of joy and pleasure so they were kept around. It wasn't until the 1950s when soda started to be packaged, that the soda fountain's interest began to dwindle. But many places continued to make sundaes and banana split recipes all the same.

This amazing ice cream cake recipe is a great ice cream cake for birthdays, or any other occasion. It would be interesting to try out just for the fun of it. The process to make your own ice cream cake is actually quite simple and just requires you make a lot of different layers of the various ingredients of the banana split ice cream cake recipe. The layers that are included are a layer of chocolate crunchies, which are crunched up chocolate cookie bits, they stay hard even though they are put into ice cream because they have a layer of coconut oil around them that prevents the ice cream from making them soggy. The other layer is the banana caramel which is basically banana and caramel sauce, and then comes the whipped cream and cherries with all of the crunchy peanuts on top. This cake looks too good to be true, but it is totally legit and you can make your own ice cream cake right at home.
