Description

Homemade Peach Ice Cream is a creamy, refreshing summer dessert that highlights the natural sweetness and juiciness of ripe peaches. This easy-to-make recipe blends fresh peaches with a smooth, rich ice cream base, creating a velvety texture and vibrant fruity flavor that surpasses store-bought versions. Perfect for warm weather, gatherings, or a casual treat, it’s customizable, simple, and bursting with fresh peach goodness.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruit & Flavorings

  • 4–5 ripe peaches (fresh, peeled, and sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dairy & Sweeteners

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peaches: Peel and slice the fresh peaches, then gently cook them with a bit of sugar and lemon juice until they soften and release their juices. This intensifies the peach flavor and softens the fruit for a creamy texture in the ice cream.
  2. Blend the peach mixture: Once cooled, blend the peaches into a smooth puree or leave small chunks for added texture, depending on your preference.
  3. Mix the ice cream base: In a large bowl, combine heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and vanilla extract, stirring until the sugar fully dissolves to create a rich, sweet base.
  4. Combine peach puree and base: Gently fold the peach puree into the cream mixture, ensuring an even distribution while maintaining the creamy consistency.
  5. Chill the mixture: Cover and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours or overnight. Chilling helps flavors meld and prepares the base for freezing.
  6. Churn the ice cream: Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until achieving a soft-serve consistency.
  7. Freeze until firm: Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for several hours until firm and scoopable.

Notes

  • Choose perfectly ripe peaches for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Do not skip chilling the mixture before churning for smoother texture.
  • An ice cream maker is recommended for best results, but you can freeze without one by stirring periodically.
  • A pinch of salt can enhance sweetness and balance flavors.
  • Serve the ice cream slightly softened for optimal scooping and texture.
