Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother consistency, ensure the Jell-O is completely dissolved before mixing in the ice cream. If peaches are out of season, try using canned peaches in juice, but be sure to drain them well. You can also substitute vanilla ice cream with peach or even coconut ice cream for a twist. This recipe is perfect for summer gatherings or to serve alongside a scoop of Skillet Apples.

For a complete dessert experience, consider serving alongside a scoop of vanilla or peach ice cream for added creaminess.
