This Peach Ice Cream recipe captures the essence of summer with fresh, juicy peaches blended into a creamy homemade delight. Combining fresh peaches with cream, milk, and a touch of vanilla, this frozen treat is refreshing and easy to make with an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Peach Mixture

  • 3 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (divided into 1/4 cup and 1/2 cup)

Cream Base

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Macerate Peaches: In a bowl, combine the diced peaches with 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Let this mixture sit for about 30 minutes to allow the peaches to release their natural juices, enhancing their sweetness and flavor.
  2. Puree Peaches: Transfer the macerated peaches to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth, leaving a few chunks if you prefer a bit of texture in your ice cream.
  3. Prepare Cream Base: In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until the sugar is completely dissolved, creating a smooth, sweet cream base.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the peach puree into the cream base, mixing until well combined to ensure even peach flavor throughout the ice cream.
  5. Churn Ice Cream: Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically about 20-30 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  6. Freeze Until Firm: Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours to firm up to a scoopable texture.
  7. Serve: After freezing, scoop the peach ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy the creamy, fruity taste of homemade summer ice cream.

Notes

  • For best results, use ripe, juicy peaches for maximum flavor and natural sweetness.
  • Peeling the peaches is important to avoid a grainy texture in the ice cream.
  • If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the mixture in a shallow container, stirring every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals until firm.
  • The peach ice cream can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.
  • Adjust the sugar amount depending on the sweetness of your peaches.
