Step by Step Instructions
STEP ONE Make the Ice Cream Base: Add the heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla to a large bowl. Whisk together then cover with plastic wrap. Let the mixture chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
STEP TWO Make the Peach Compote: Add the diced peaches, sugar and vanilla to a small pot over medium heat. Cook the peaches, stirring frequently, until the juices have thickened, 15-20 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely.


STEP THREE Make the Cobbler: Add the melted butter, sugar and milk to a medium bowl. Whisk together. Then add in the flour, baking powder and salt, and whisk until smooth. Pour the batter on a greased baking sheet and bake. Then let cool completely. Break up the cobbler into small pieces, then set aside.




STEP FOUR Churn the Ice Cream: Once the ice cream base has chilled, pour it into the mixing bowl of an ice cream machine. Churn the ice cream for 30-40 minutes or until thick and frozen, resembling soft serve ice cream.


STEP FIVE Assemble the Ice Cream: Pour the vanilla ice cream into a large mixing bowl. Add ½ of the peach compote and ⅓ of the cobbler pieces to the bowl and fold into the ice cream with a rubber spatula. Pour ½ of the ice cream into a 9x9 pan. Drizzle about ¼ cup of salted caramel sauce on top and sprinkle with ½ of the left over peach compote and ⅓ of cobbler pieces. Add the remaining ice cream on top and repeat. (Reserve the rest of the cobbler pieces for serving). Cover the ice cream with plastic wrap and freeze until solid, about two hours.

FAQs
Do I have to use an ice cream maker? Yes, for this recipe an ice cream maker is needed. I use Cuisinart's ice cream and gelato maker.
Can I use canned peaches? I would recommend sticking with fresh, ripe peaches for the best flavor.
Can I use store bought salted caramel? Yes of course! If you do want to make it from scratch though, here's my favorite salted caramel recipe.

Pro Tips
Make sure to chill the ice cream base prior to churning it. This will yield the creamiest ice cream.
Use all heavy cream. This will give you the best ice cream consistency, rather than using milk and cream.
Let the assembled ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes after it is completely frozen. This will allow you to get the best scoops!
