For the cake:

- 1 pint vanilla ice cream, softened

Instructions
- Prepare the crumble. In a microwave safe bowl, melt the butter in 15 second increments. Let cool slightly, then add the brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Stir to dissolve the brown sugar and the mixture is thick. Add the flour and rolled oats, and stir to combine. The mix should hold its shape when pressed in your hand. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper and preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Crumble mixture onto sheet tray, creating chunks and spreading over the tray. Bake for about 12 – 15 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely. Set aside.
- Prepare the peaches. Bring a stove top pan up to a low – medium heat. Add the butter and melt. Add the cardamom, brown sugar, and salt. Stir until the brown sugar begins to dissolve and bubble slightly. Add the peaches and stir to coat all the peaches. Cook for about 10 minutes until peaches are tender and most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat, add a squeeze of lemon, and set aside to cool.
- Prepare the cream. Add the heavy whipping cream, cream cheese, powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla to a bowl or bowl of a stand mixer. Mix on high until you get semi soft peaks. Set aside.
- Prepare the cake. Once all the components are prepared, you can begin layering the cake. Line a loaf pan with parchment or plastic wrap on both sides. Start with the crumble layer at the bottom. Then add a layer of softened ice cream, then a layer of the whipped cream. Then add a layer of cookies. Then add a small layer of peach preserves, and the cooked and cooled peaches. Finish with a layer of whipped cream. Cover with more parchment or plastic wrap, and let set in the freezer overnight.
- When ready to serve, let the cake sit out for a few minutes and using a hot knife, slice into servings. Enjoy!
