Crumble half of the brownies over the bottom of a large bowl or trifle dish. Scoop half of the ice cream into balls and place the balls over the brownie layer, then, half of the sliced bananas; spoon half the fudge sauce over the bananas.

Spread half of the whipped topping over the sauce then sprinkle on half of the walnuts and half of the cherries; repeat the layers. Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours. Remove from the freezer 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
