Banana Caramel Topping

What could make ice cream even more delicious? Gooey homemade toppings, of course! This topping was made famous in New Orleans, and the recipe came from a hotel chef there. I found this recipe in Taste Of Home magazine. I have not tried this recipe, but I'm posting it for safe keeping. I plan to use sugar free caramel ice cream topping and no sugar added vanilla ice cream.
