Bananas and whipped topping are blended with vanilla ice cream to make a light, refreshing ending to any meal. You'll also love the fact that you can make this well ahead of time since you have to let the ice cream cups freeze. They're great to serve at a summertime dinner party since they'll be ready to go whenever you need them. The topping is super simple and features even more store-bought light whipped topping and crushed vanilla wafers (which you also use to make the cupcakes). The color and crunch of the wafers really help put this dessert over the top.
