Pre-heat grill to high.

Place brown sugar in medium-sized foil pan and place on grate. Close lid to allow sugar to melt. Do not burn.

Add sliced peaches to the melted sugar and stir. Close lid and let cook, stirring often until peaches are soft and syrup has thickened. Add butter and stir for a minute. Add cinnamon if using. Remove from BBQ and set aside to cool for about 10 minutes.

Place crushed cookies in plastic bag. Place one or two scoops of ice cream in bag and shake. Each scoop should be encrusted with crumbs. Use bag to embed pieces of cookies into ice cream. Re-shape into scoop, if necessary.

Place one scoop of encrusted ice cream in a pretty bowl, cup, or glass.

Spoon warm peaches and a little syrup over top.

Drizzle a little liqueur if using. Top with cherry and a little syrup. Garnish with mint.

Serve immediately.
