Homemade Peach Ice Cream

A sweet and creamy homemade peach ice cream that’s perfect for summer.

Ingredients

  • Fresh Peaches (4–5 medium)
  • Milk (1 cup)
  • Heavy Cream (2 cups)
  • Sugar (3/4 cup)
  • Egg Yolks (3)
  • Vanilla Extract (1 teaspoon)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peaches: Wash your peaches and remove the pits. Slice them into quarters.
  2. Blend the peaches: Toss the sliced peaches into a blender with half of the sugar and blend until smooth.
  3. Make the custard base: In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and heavy cream, heating until steam rises.
  4. Temper the eggs: Slowly pour about a cup of the steaming milk mixture into the bowl with egg yolks while whisking constantly.
  5. Combine and thicken: Return the egg mixture to the saucepan, cooking over low heat until thickened.
  6. Cool it down: Remove from heat, stir in vanilla, and let cool at room temperature.
  7. Mix in the peaches: Fold in the peach puree and remaining peach chunks.
  8. Churn it: Follow your ice cream maker’s instructions or freeze while stirring every 30 minutes.
  9. Serve and enjoy: Scoop into bowls or cones and garnish if desired.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half. Consider adding a swirl of raspberry puree for a fruity twist!
