The Eagles were down 1-0 at half-time thanks to a 22nd minute Sophie Peskett effort, but second-half strikes from Ashleigh Weerden and Abbie Larkin got Palace their second win of the WSL2 campaign.
It was an even first-half in Colchester, with both teams managing to create chances, but it was the hosts that converted theirs first.
Justine Vanhaevermaet, who came on to replace Allyson Swaby in the 20th minute, had her pocket picked by Peskett who ran towards goal and slotted the ball under Shae Yañez to make it 1-0.
Vanhaevermaet almost attoned for her mistake just before the half-time whistle, but her headed effort was just wide of the goal and Palace went into the break 1-0 down.
The second-half was a different story to the first, with Jo Potter's side constantly on the offensive.
Kirsty Howat adopted the role of creator-in-chief, and laid on a number of chances for the Palace attack.
The first saw Annabel Blanchard played into a very dangerous position, but the midfielder could not get her finish right and the equaliser was denied.
Then, on the hour mark, Palace made Ipswich pay, thanks to Weerden.
The winger was found on the left side of the box by Howat, and she lashed a shot that first struck the crossbar before bulging the net.
Palace had their tails up and pushed hard for the winner, and it arrived on the 83rd minute, courtesy of Larkin.
Hayley Nolan fed the ball to her Ireland teammate outside the box, and she took one touch and fired a low effort towards goal.
The shot whizzed past former Palace stopper Natalia Negri, struck the left post and nestled in the back of the net to the delight of the travelling Palace faithful.
It was clear that fortune was on Palace's side in Essex, with both goals going in with some help from the upright.
Larkin almost repeated her goalscoring heroics on the 90 minute mark, but the woodwork would deny her on this occasion and the ball looped up and away from danger.
After a frustrating first-half, Palace managed to turn the game around in the second to claim three important points in the league.
This result sees Palace climb up to eighth place in the WSL2, with an away trip to Leicester City next Sunday in the final game of the Subway Women's League Cup group stage.
