Chocolate-Caramel Banana Ice Cream Pie
- 8 chocolate graham cracker sheets
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 4 ounces milk chocolate, chopped
- 2 14 -ounce cartons vanilla ice cream, softened
- 2 bananas, thinly sliced
- 3/4 cup dulce de leche or caramel sauce
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 ounces milk chocolate, chopped
- 1 teaspoon light corn syrup
- Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Pulse the graham crackers, butter, sugar and vanilla in a food processor until fine crumbs form.
- Press evenly into the bottom and up the side of a 9-inch pie plate.
- Bake until firm, about 15 minutes; let cool completely.
- Make the filling: Put the chocolate and 1/4 cup ice cream in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until the mixture is almost melted; whisk until smooth.
- Beat the remaining ice cream in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy but not melted, about 3 minutes; beat in the chocolate mixture.
- Freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, arrange the banana slices in the pie crust.
- Spread the dulce de leche over the bananas and freeze until cold, about 30 minutes.
- Scoop the ice cream over the bananas and dulce de leche and smooth with a rubber spatula.
- Freeze until very firm, 4 hours.
- Make the glaze: Bring the heavy cream to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Remove from the heat and whisk in the chocolate and corn syrup until melted and smooth.
- Let cool, whisking occasionally, until spreadable, about 15 minutes.
- Slowly pour the glaze over the ice cream; return to the freezer until set.
- Let the pie soften 10 minutes at room temperature before slicing.
