Morphology
This is a straightforward compositional noun phrase where 'peach' specifies the flavor of 'ice cream'; a B1 learner who knows these constituent words can readily infer it means ice cream made with peaches. There is no idiomatic or metaphorical shift and the same flavor + dessert pattern is common cross-linguistically, so the expression is immediately understandable.
Etymology
Peach ice cream comes from the simple picture of soft peach pieces mixed into creamy ice cream. So, it means 'ice cream flavored with fresh peaches or peach essence'.
