I developed this dessert because of my love of banana flavor and my love of ice cream desserts. Salted caramel is the big flavor now and the saltiness and it serves to complement the sweet, creaminess of the banana filling. Kudos to Ashton on www.somethingswanky.com who gets credit for the salted carmel sauce inspiration.
