A simple, creamy homemade peach ice cream bursting with fresh summer peaches, perfect for a refreshing treat on hot days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–5 medium fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150 g)
  • 2 cups cold heavy cream (480 ml)
  • 1 cup cold whole milk (240 ml)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Peel, pit, and slice 4-5 medium peaches. Place them in a bowl with 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. Stir gently and let macerate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  2. Reserve about 1/4 cup of the peach juice. Transfer peaches and juice to a blender or food processor and pulse a few times until chunky but well combined.
  3. In a separate large bowl, combine 2 cups cold heavy cream, 1 cup cold whole milk, 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until just combined.
  4. Fold the blended peaches and reserved juice gently into the cream mixture, stirring until evenly mixed.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until very cold.
  6. Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer instructions, about 20-25 minutes, until soft-serve consistency.
  7. Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container. Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight to firm up.
  8. Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping and serving.

Notes

For best results, chill the cream, milk, and ice cream maker bowl overnight. Avoid overwhipping the cream base to prevent butter formation. Macerate peaches properly to enhance sweetness and juiciness. If ice cream is too icy, ensure ingredients are cold and macerate peaches longer. For dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream and milk with coconut cream and coconut milk.
