Pulse graham crackers in your food processor till finely crushed. If you don't have a food processor, place the crackers in a ziplock bag and crush them using a rolling pin.
Transfer graham cracker crumbs to a bowl and add granulated sugar to it and mix. Now add melted butter.
Using a fork mix the butter till the crumbs appear like wet sand.
Transfer the mixture to a 9 inch pie plate. Press mixture into the bottom and up to the sides of the pie plate. Use back of a glass or measuring cup to really make it all compact. Also press the sides using your fingers.
Once your crust is ready, place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, take out the crust and fill it with Blue Bunny® Butter Pecan Ice cream. Take the ice cream out of the freezer for 10 minutes or so before you start filling it. I like to place scoops of ice cream in the crust as you can see in the picture.
And then using a spatula smooth it up. It's really easy this way because the ice cream softens up as you keep scooping it out making the whole process easier.
Once you have a smooth top, place the pie in the freezer for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight till the pie is rock solid.

When it's time to take the pie out of the freezer, make the banana foster sauce first. In a pan melt butter on medium heat.
Once the butter melts, add brown sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon powder, vanilla extract and imitation rum extract. Mix till sugar dissolves and mixture becomes smooth.
Add sliced bananas and chopped pecans. Mix to coat the banana pieces with the sauce. Heat for 2 minutes or till the banana slices become hot. Remove pan from heat.
Take out the ice cream pie out of the freezer. Wait for few minutes for the banana foster sauce to cool down a little [this will also give some time to the ice cream pie to soften a little which makes the slicing process much easier) and then spread it over the pie and serve.
