Ice Cream Peaches image

When our kitchen crafters dished up Helen Banycky's ice cream, they were struck by its refreshingly real flavor-and by how the shape of the scoops suggested actual peaches. To expand that look, they rolled the scoops in gelatin for a fuzzy appearance. "They do resemble peaches," Helen, who's from Carterville, Illinois, told us after we shared what our cooks had one. "I'll have to try that trick, too!"-Helen Banycky, Carterville, Illinois
