Banoffee Ice cream: When your banoffee comes in a glass!

 I love requests, for me it's a challenge. Some of them I can find the recipe easily in cookbooks but many of them I have to create it ^^.

Banoffee Ice cream

Even I love it, I have to admit that I can't make all of the requests as quick as the people want, and now there are a lot of requests waiting for me -*-.
This time I got the request for Banoffee ice cream, and I try to find the recipe in the cookbooks but I couldn't find it any where. So, I have to create it by myself ^^. I think about many possibility, want I want my ice cream to be and it's quite fun to do it. Finally I choose to use the banana ice cream as a base and mix the brown sugar sauce and cookies to turn it into a banoffee. Actually there are many choice for both of the sauce and cookies, the choice for sauce are caramel and Dulce de leche, for the cookie shortbread comes close too. The reason for the brown sugar sauce is it's easy to make, very delicious, the taste of it stand out like you're eating a toffee. For the cookie I still think that shortbread is a good choice, but as my family members love Oreo (like me, hehe), you can use different kinds of cookie, chocolate or vanilla, the choice is yours. 
Well, I think I got an ice cream that my family (esp. my niece) love, you can see from her eyes as she waited for me while I took a photos. And I hope you will enjoy it too.

Waiting for the ice cream !
