Hey friends! I’m excited to share with you a recipe for one of my favorite summertime treats: a Peach Ice Cream Dessert. It’s a layered delight with a buttery graham cracker crust, sweet peaches, creamy vanilla ice cream, and fluffy whipped topping. It’s simple to make and perfect for cooling off on a hot day. Here’s how I make it:
Ingredients:
- For the Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
- For the Peach Layer:
- 3 cups fresh peaches, sliced
- 1/2 cup white sugar (adjust according to sweetness of peaches)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- For the Ice Cream Layer:
- 4 cups vanilla ice cream, softened
- For the Whipped Topping:
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For Garnish:
- Additional peach slices
- Crushed graham crackers
Instructions:
- Prepare the Crust:
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×9-inch baking dish, forming a firm layer.
- Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the next layer.
- Peach Layer:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sliced peaches, sugar, and lemon juice.
- Cook until peaches are soft and the mixture has thickened, about 10 minutes.
- Let the peach mixture cool to room temperature, then spread over the crust.
- Freeze for 1 hour to set.
- Ice Cream Layer:
- Spread the softened vanilla ice cream over the peach layer.
- Freeze again until the ice cream is firm, about 2 hours.
- Whipped Topping:
- In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
- Spread the whipped cream over the firm ice cream layer.
- Freeze for an additional 1-2 hours or until ready to serve.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Just before serving, garnish the top with additional peach slices and a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers.
- Cut into squares and serve immediately.
