Summer desserts

I was bringing a dessert to a friend's poolside gathering yesterday, and it was just too hot to cook (not to mention that there was no time between morning baseball games and afternoon party), so I made a Peach Melba in a Pail. (My husband wasn't so sure about my using the sandpail as a serving vessel, but I assured him, it had only ever been used for food, it's a great way to celebrate the season, it's fun, and it makes an impact.)

Peach melba in a pail

1 half gallon black raspberry ice cream
1 jar Trader Joe's Peach Sauce (or 3-4 sliced peaches)
1 pt of heavy cream, whipped with 1/4 c powdered sugar and 1/2 t vanilla extract (or 2 c Cool Whip)
2 c crushed Oreos
1 pt raspberries
1 clean beach sandpail
Layer ice cream, peach sauce, Oreos, raspberries, whipped cream, until you've used all ingredients. Store in freezer until ready to serve. May be made the day ahead.
