Author Notes

While ice cream is good all year around, something about it embodies summer. School is closed, the days are long and hot, and rules, such as "no ice cream for breakfast", are meant to be broken. I bought an ice cream maker at the start of summer, and it haven't stopped churning out cold treats since. Here, I transformed a summer time classic, peach cobbler, into an ice cream for pie a la mode, instantly. This recipe can also serve as a basic non-dairy "base" that countless new flavors can be born from, by adding in any combination of nuts, fruits, chocolate chips, or flavored extracts. —ripecuisine
