Steps:
- For crust:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 9-inch-diameter springform pan with 23/4-inch-high sides. Blend crumbs and sugar in processor. Add melted butter; process until crumbs are evenly moistened. Press crumb mixture over bottom and up sides of pan. Bake crust until slightly crisp, about 12 minutes. Cool crust completely, then freeze 15 minutes.
- For filling:
- Microwave peach ice cream on low in three 10-second intervals until slightly softened. Drop ice cream by large spoonfuls over bottom of crust; spread over crust. Place pan in freezer 15 minutes. Microwave raspberry sorbet on low in three 10-second intervals until slightly softened. Spoon sorbet in large dollops atop peach ice cream, then spread in even layer. Return pan to freezer 15 minutes. Repeat procedure with vanilla ice cream. Freeze until filling is firm, about 4 hours.
- For meringue:
- Using electric mixer, beat egg whites in large bowl until foamy. Add cream of tartar and salt; beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar and beat until stiff and glossy, about 5 minutes. Beat in vanilla. Spoon meringue atop cake, mounding in center and spreading completely to edge of pan. Using rubber spatula or knife, swirl meringue decoratively, creating pointy tips. Freeze 2 hours. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and keep frozen.)
- Preheat broiler. Broil cake just until meringue begins to turn light golden, about 2 minutes. Carefully remove pan sides. Place cake on platter. Serve within 10 minutes with Raspberry-Peach Compote.

Steps:
- Reserve 1 tbsp sugar. Mix together the custard, creme fraiche, remaining sugar and vanilla in a large bowl.

Whisk the mixture to break down the ice crystals, return to the freezer for 1 hr or more, then repeat the whisking.
- Meanwhile, cut a large food bag down one side and along the base and open out. Lightly oil a large loaf tin, ice-cream tub or food container, approximately 2 litres in capacity. Line with the plastic. Using a fork, lightly crush half the raspberries with the reserved sugar.
- Spoon one-third of the semi-frozen custard into the tin. Sprinkle over half the meringues and half the crushed raspberries. Spoon over 3 tbsp coulis. Cover with another third of the custard and then the remaining meringues, raspberries and another 3 tbsp coulis. Pour over the remaining custard, then put in the freezer for at least 4 hrs, or overnight. Can be frozen for up to 2 weeks.
- To serve, transfer the dessert to the fridge for 30-45 mins to soften it. When ready to eat, turn the cake out onto a dish, Scatter the raspberries over, then cut into thick slices and serve with a little coulis.
