Celebrate National Ice Cream Day with a Strawberry Wafer Banana Split
Today, on Redhead Mom, we are sharing about our Strawberry Wafer
Banana Split as part of a partnered post with Voortman Bakery.
Did you know that July 21st is National Ice Cream Day? I’ve loved being an ambassador with Voortman Bakery and sharing about the different flavors of their delicious wafers and cookies! This time, I received an assortment of flavors of the Voortman Bakery Wafers. Since we live in California and it’s strawberry season, I thought it would be fun to incorporate an ice cream treat with Voortman Bakery Strawberry Wafers, vanilla ice cream, and strawberries. What better way than to put together a homemade banana split!!
This time, I received a yummy assortment of wafers from Voortman Bakery! The flavors included Coconut Creme Wafers, Lemon Wafers, Orange Creme Wafers, Strawberry Wafers, Banana Wafers, and Key Lime Wafers. I love that these wafers not only taste delicious, but they are also made with REAL FRUIT!!! You definitely want to give these a try if you haven’t already!
If you would love to try the different wafers and cookies from Voortman Bakery, you can find the retailer that carries them by checking it out HERE. Where we live on the California Central Coast, I’ve seen the Voortman Bakery products at Target, Walmart, Food Maxx, Foods Co and Ralph‘s.
STRAWBERRY WAFER BANANA SPLIT
What You Need:
- Voortman Bakery Wafers in Strawberry flavor (or your favorite flavor)
- Vanilla Ice Cream
- Chocolate Syrup
- Whipped Cream
- Strawberries
- Banana
- Rainbow Colored Sprinkles
What To Do:
1 – Peel and cut banana in half. Cut those halves in half. This will give you 4 pieces to which you can create a square shape in the bowl.
2 – Add a few scoops of your favorite ice cream.
3 – De-stem some fresh strawberries and place those around the bananas.
4 – Break Voortman Bakery Strawberry Wafers into four pieces. Place these around the banana split.
5 – Drizzle chocolate syrup over the ice cream.
6 – Add whipped cream and top with sprinkles.
Enjoy your Strawberry Wafer Banana Split for National Ice Cream Day (and all year long)!!!
I love Voortman Bakery wafers and all of the different flavors they have! I love them not only because their wafers and cookies are yummy, but because they are baked with real fruit! At Voortman Bakery, they believe in real ingredients. Simple, real ingredients are what make their cookies so remarkably delicious. Their wafers and cookies have no artificial color or flavors AND no high-fructose corn syrup.
At Voortman Bakery, they believe in the art of baking. Plus, their bakers love to bake! From creating new and exciting flavor combinations to constantly reviewing their recipes, their bakers are real cookie connoisseurs! They believe that cookies should taste delicious. I love that Voortman Bakery is committed to giving uncompromising quality, flavor, and simply better cookies to their customers. At Voortman Bakery, they believe that REAL bakes better.
HISTORY OF VOORTMAN BAKERY
I like to learn about the history behind the brands that I love! Voortman Cookies began in 1951 when two young Dutch brothers, William and Harry Voortman, opened their first bakery in Hamilton, Ontario. It took five years of dedicated baking and hard work before a Canadian grocery chain agreed to give Voortman Cookies shelf space in their stores!
Even though their name has changed, their commitment to using simple, real ingredients has not. At Voortman Bakery, quality and taste has always been and always will be their top priority. From their classic Windmill cookies to their new Oatmeal Chocolate Chip, they’re constantly reinventing what delicious tastes like!
What is your favorite flavor of Voortman Bakery Wafers??

Banana splits are my all-time favorite ice cream treats. I’ve never thought to add extra ingredients in them but I do love wafers so I bet I’d love your version of this favorite dish of mine.
I want them all! But the coconut cream looks extra special 🙂
Yes please, I would love this! I’ll have to make this with my kids. We’ve always loved wafers too.
I LOVE this recipe so much! I actually already put these in my ice cream. It’s so good!

Oh man that looks good! I love those wafers and I love strawberries so I about fell out of my chair when I saw how good that looked!
My dad used to love Voortman sugar wafers. He always had some in the pantry.
I had no idea that Voortman had so many different types of wafer cookies. I love wafer cookies, especially with ice cream! I’m going to have to stock up.
This is a great post! I love the idea, it’s just so creative.
Must be intuition as I was thinking of banana split and lo behold, open your post and there it is with strawberry wafer. Yummy. Good suggestion to serve it with flavorful wafers.
Wow, there are so many flavors in the waffles and Lime flavor would be so interesting as I have never tasted before.
This is certainly everyone’s favorite day second to Christmas of course. Your ice cream motif is pretty innovative. I’d like to give it a go.
Nnniiiiccceeeeee….this is my first time hearing of the Voortman bakery but sure, I can surely try out one of their products.
Wow-what a great addition to the Ice Cream. I have never thought about adding these in there. What a cool idea.
These waffer cookies are one of my favorites and when I was younger my gram always had strawberry ones for us! This sounds yummy!
Oh man, I have not had a wafer in forever…so cool that they’re made with real fruit! Makes me want to have one again!
I love waffers with my ice cream, it was the way my grandma served us ice cream and it is the way I serve it to my son
This looks so sweet and delicious! I never would have thought to try it with wafers!
Oh that looks delicious! I had never thought of adding wafers to our banana splits but will definitely try it next time.

That looks so good! I so love ice cream, but I missed celebrating National Ice Cream Day. But it’s better late than never so I’ll celebrate later. 🙂
This looks like such a fun recipe to make! It would definitely be a hit when throwing summer parties!
This looks absolutely delicious. I need to grab all the stuff for this and make it for the kids.
I love wafer cookies. They are one of my favorites. I also love ice cream so this is a winning combination.

I was so bummed that I missed National Ice Cream Day. I immediately rewarded myself to two scoops of ice cream when I found out yesterday. Banana split would have been the icing on top!
