Description
A creamy and delicious peach ice cream perfect for summer.
Ingredients
- Peaches – 4–5 medium (about 3 cups chopped)
- Granulated Sugar – 3/4 cup
- Heavy Cream – 2 cups
- Whole Milk – 1 cup
- Vanilla Extract – 1 teaspoon
- Lemon Juice – 1 tablespoon
Instructions
- Prepare the Peaches: Peel, pit, and chop the peaches into small pieces. Place them in a bowl and sprinkle with 1/4 cup of sugar. Let them sit for 15–20 minutes to release their juices.
- Blend the Peaches: Once the peaches have softened, use a blender or food processor to purée them until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, pulse a few times.
- Mix the Cream Base: In a separate bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, the remaining sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Combine: Add the peach purée into the cream mixture, stirring to combine. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if necessary.
- Chill: Cover the mixture and refrigerate it for 1–2 hours to chill before churning.
- Churn: Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, about 20–25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Freeze: Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for 4–6 hours, or until firm.
- Serve: Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping and serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use ripe peaches.
- Adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the peaches.
- Store any leftovers in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
