Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 cups fresh ripe peaches, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peaches: Wash, peel, and dice about 3 cups of fresh peaches. Toss them in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to keep the peaches vibrant and prevent browning.
  2. Make the peach puree: Blend half of the diced peaches into a smooth puree using a food processor or blender, leaving the other half diced for texture.
  3. Combine the base ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup heavy cream, 1 cup whole milk, 3/4 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until the sugar has fully dissolved.
  4. Mix in peaches: Gently stir the peach puree and the remaining diced peaches into the cream mixture, ensuring an even distribution of the peach flavor and texture.
  5. Chill the mixture: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to ensure a colder base, which improves the texture of the ice cream.
  6. Freeze the ice cream: Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until the mixture reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  7. Harden in the freezer: Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight to firm up, achieving perfect scooping texture.

Notes

  • Choose ripe peaches for the best natural sweetness and juicy flavor.
  • Keep your ingredients and bowl well chilled to speed up churning and enhance creaminess.
  • Don’t omit lemon juice as it brightens the peaches and prevents browning.
  • Use good quality real vanilla extract to elevate the flavor.
  • Allow enough freezing time for the ice cream to fully set for the best texture.
