If making homemade graham crackers, make these ahead and store them either at room temperature or freeze them for longer storage.
Make homemade cream and let it churn until it's at the soft-serve stage. If using store bought ice cream, let it soften so that its easier to spread into the corners of the pan.
Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment for easy removal.

Line the bottom of the pan with 6 graham cracker sheets (breaking into pieces as needed to cover). Top with half of the softened ice cream. Repeat the layer one more time, and top with a final layer of graham crackers. There should be 3 layers of graham crackers and 2 layers of ice cream.
Cover and freeze for 4 hours or until frozen.

Remove the cake from the freezer. Use the parchment paper to lift the cake out of the pan and let sit for 5 minutes.
Make the whipped topping: If making from scratch, combine the whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla and beat until soft peaks form. If use whipped toppening, skip this step.
Top the icebox cake with whipping cream, peach slices, and a crumbled graham cracker sheet.

Prep Time: The recipe prep time is calculated for using ready-made ingredients (graham crackers, ice cream, and whipped topping).
Ice Cream: Use your favorite flavor of ice cream. I'm using peach, but any flavor works equally well. Just be sure to let it soften a bit.
Graham Crackers: I'm using homemade graham crackers with a hint of cinnamon. While I love the combination of peach and cinnamon, use your favorite store-bought graham, depending on the flavor of your ice cream (plain, cinnamon, or even chocolate)!
Garnishing: Let the ice cream flavor be your guide. If using a berry ice cream, use berries on top of the whipped cream, etc.
