I defy even Ben & Jerry's to top this recipe combination! Banana pudding and homemade ice cream combined into one perfect bowl! My daughter prepared this on my birthday to go with my mother-in-law's famous Caramel Cake. Heavenly! You are welcome to dice or slice fresh banana to garnish, but we were so very satisfied with the banana flavor of the finished product that we found it unnecessary. (Be sure to leave the vanilla wafers in chunks, as crumbs would detract from the texture.)
