Peach Ice Cream Cake
Easiest Peach Ice Cream Cake made with just 4 ingredients and a springform pan
Equipment
- Gallon Ziplock or Reusable Bag
- Rolling Pin or Item to Crush Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 Container of Triple Ginger Cookies from TJS or make your own with suggested recipe below in notes
- 1 Stick of butter Melted
- 1 gallon Vanilla Ice Cream *use 10-12 scoops
- 3-5 peaches cubed *reserve one cup to sprinkle peaches on top of the cake
Instructions
- Add Ginger Cookies to a ziplock bag and use a rolling pin to crush the cookies.
- Pour a stick of melted butter into the ginger cookie crumbles and stir until fully incorporated.
- Pour the buttered cookie crumbles into the springform pan and make sure the pan is secured to the base by locking the side latch. And freeze for at least 1 hr with beeswax paper or plastic wrap on top to keep from freezer burn.
- Set a gallon of vanilla ice cream out on the counter while you cut the peaches. Cut 3-5 peaches up into small pieces (save 1 cup of cut peaches for the top layer). Then scoop 10-12 scoops of the vanilla ice cream into a mixing bowl. Mix in all the peaches EXCEPT the one cup of reserved cut peaces. Mix together peaces and vanilla ice cream.
- Put ice cream mixture into a springform pan and work quickly to avoid the ice cream melted through the bottom of the springform pan. Once the ice cream and peaches mixture is in the springform pan, smooth out with a spatula or spoon.
- Even distribute the remaining cup of cubed peaches on the top of the ice cream. Cover with beeswax paper or plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn and then freeze immediately. Allow to freeze 8 hours or overnight.
- Unlatch the springform pan to release the cake from the pan and remove it from the pan before slicing.
- Allow it to thaw for 5 minutes on the counter before cutting into it and enjoy!
Notes
- *Here is recipe that looks good for making your own triple ginger cookies at home, if you make these use 2 cups of cookies crushed for the crust:

- When you are assembling the ice cream peach mixture into the springform pan after the crust has frozen, work QUICKLY so that the ice cream does not start melting through the bottom.
- Make sure to cover the ice cream cake in the freezer to prevent freezer burn
- Smaller cuts of the peaches will be best, big chunks of peaches are hard to chew when frozen
