Yield: 16 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4  cups  chocolate wafer crumbs (about 25 cookies; such as Nabisco's Famous Chocolate Wafers)
  • 2  tablespoons  butter, melted
  • 3/4  cup  fat-free chocolate sundae syrup, divided
  • 4  cups  sliced banana (about 5 bananas)
  • 1  (1.75-quart) container vanilla low-fat ice cream, softened
  • 1  (18-ounce) jar strawberry sundae topping
  • 1  cup  coarsely chopped pineapple
  • 5  tablespoons  chopped dry-roasted peanuts

Preparation

Combine crumbs and butter, stirring with a fork until moist. Press crumb mixture into bottom and 1/2 inch up sides of a 10-inch springform pan. Spread 1/2 cup chocolate syrup evenly over crust; top with banana. Spread the ice cream evenly over banana. Cover and freeze 3 hours or until firm.

Spread the strawberry sundae topping evenly over ice cream. Cover and freeze 1 hour.
