Peach Ice Cream Recipe
To make delicious homemade peach ice cream, start by preparing the peaches. You’ll need about 4 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced. Toss the peaches with 1/2 cup sugar and let sit for 30 minutes to release their juice. Once soft, puree the peaches in a blender or food processor until smooth. In a separate bowl, mix together 1 cup whole milk, 3/4 cup sugar, and a pinch of salt until the sugar dissolves. Mix in 2 cups heavy cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

Next, mix the peach puree into the milk and cream mixture and mix well until everything is evenly mixed. Pour the mixture into the ice cream and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually 20 to 25 minutes, until the ice cream has a smooth consistency. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm.
