Blueberry-Peach Ice Cream Torte

I saw the photo to this recipe in my Land-O-Lakes recipe book and I was like Whoa! It looks beautiful, what an elegant presentation this cake would make. Fresh peaches swirled in ice cream and topped with blueberry sauce. This cake takes a long time, (12 hrs) because it needs to be frozen, so please give yourself lots of time to prepare. I think it would be wise to make it the day before. I really hope you enjoy this, if you make it please let me know, and I would love to see a photo of your master piece :)
