It is hot! Seriously hot outside. So hot that I needed to make this easy peach pie ice cream float recipe. This past week, Chicago saw temperatures of 100 degrees. Well I guess I need to be careful what I ask for because I have wanted true summer weather for months!
The funny thing about this weather is it completely zaps my energy, making it nearly impossible to do much of anything. Seeing gorgeous in season peaches floating around in my grocery store have had me craving a peach pie for weeks. However every single time I want to make one, I can’t stand the thought of standing in front of a hot oven with a hot sun beaming on my shoulders. I seriously had to have this easy peach pie ice cream float in my arsenal just to make it through.
This peach float was a nice and easy solution. It only requires me to stand over the stove for a few minutes to saute the peaches. I even used store bought vanilla ice cream (a quality brand of course) but if you have the time, make it homemade.
I adored this ice cream float because it wasn’t the typical peach ice cream float. I added the pie magic. It was so fun to eat. And it reminded me of a peach pie, without the work.
If you LOVE peach pie, you will adore my Easy Peach Pie Ice Cream Float. This is no ordinary peach ice cream float. It tastes just like the pie without the work!
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup fresh peeled peach slices
- 2-3 tablespoons granulated sugar depending on sweetness of peaches
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Vanilla ice cream
- Peach flavored soda I used Izze sparking peach
- Crushed graham cracker crumbs and ground cinnamon for garnish
- In a small saute pan, add butter and melt.
- Next add sliced peaches, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla extract to the pan and saute over medium heat until peaches are soft and syrup has formed.
- Let peaches cool.
- Once peaches are cooled, alternate scoops of vanilla ice cream with sauteed peaches in a glass. Pour peach flavored soda over the ice cream layers.
- Lastly, top with crushed graham crackers and a pinch of ground cinnamon.

It definitely doesn’t get that hot in Vancouver but I’d gladly devour this gorgeous peach pie ice cream float in any temperature! What a fabulous idea.
This beats a root beer float for sure! Can’t wait to try this (plus no heat from the oven 😉 )
Absolutely, I love root beer floats but this is awesome!
Not sure how I missed you posting this one! It’s gorgeous, and I so love a peach pie. This is perfect. All those lovely flavors without turning on the oven!
Yes, I feel like I love peach pie so much but this heat is killing my love of making it!
Oh I could just inhale this! All the wonderful flavors together – it’s summer in a glass!
I love that! I should remain this drink summer in a glass!
This sounds like a great dessert to help beat the summer heat. I love peaches and right now they are so delicious and not too expensive.
Thanks so much Dawn! I love when peaches are reasonable so I can buy a bunch.
I feel you, the temperature has been rising around here and the last thing I want to do is turn on my oven in my small abode, it heats up the place like crazy. Sauteeing peaches and eating them with ice cream sounds like something I can definitely do in this weather 🙂 Love the pictures, too!
Absolutely! And for some reason, the weather has cooled down just a bit but I can still enjoy this float regardless.
Once again I’m dumbfounded by a delicious looking discovery by someone else. This treat is tantalizing beyond measure! Thanks for the great post!
Wow thank you so much Dan! I really appreciate it! 😉
OMG! I LOVE peaches and have been ODing on them this summer. I want one of these right now! Looks absolutely delicious!

That’s the next best thing to peach pie! Even better ’cause it’s cooling! And delectable to boot!
I think the cooling aspect makes it pretty perfect in this hot weather right?
Send one my way, please! This sounds fantastic!
I wish I could send you one right now!
Whoever asked for this hot weather can take it back! 🙂 J/k. It has cooled down here in LA, so that’s good. Bring on all the peaches regardless of what the thermometer says!
Seriously it has been scorching here in Chicago!! But honestly it is always freezing here so I think I will take this over winter for a while.
Wonderful, summery, no bake (and almost no work), dessert! So pretty too. 🙂 I love fresh peaches with vanilla ice cream!
Thanks so much Wendy! And peaches and ice cream together are so awesome!
Perfect summer dessert! And I love peaches.
Thanks so much Abbe! And who doesn’t love peaches?
This sounds like the perfect compromise for cooking during a heat wave. So gorgeous! And peaches are always so tempting.
Thanks so much Paula! I think I am seriously having a peach love affair.
hell ya,,,, I’ll take 2. I can’t believe peach season is upon us
Absolutely! So excited about peaches too!
Rolling out a pie crust in 100 degree weather is not very fun, I’d much rather sit in the shade and enjoy this refreshing peach pie float! 😀
I’m totally with you Valerie!
