How to Make Peach Ice Cream
Step 1: Peel and chop the peaches. In a blender, layer chopped peaches with about ½ of the sugar. Allow it to sit for 30 minutes.
Step 2: Blend a few times until there are only small pieces of peaches. You do not want to completely puree it.
Step 3: In a large bowl, mix together the remaining ingredients. Stir in the peach sugar mixture and place in fridge for at least 1 hour.
Step 4: Stir the ice cream mixture again, and pour it into your ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and churn the ice cream.
Step 5: Place ice cream into loaf pan. Cover and freeze for at least 3 hours.
Step 6: Remove the loaf pan from the freezer and serve immediately.
Lisa’s Expert Tips
- Looking for a diary free ice cream? Try my date ice cream and add peaches for a similar result.
- I prefer to peel the peaches for texture purposes, but if you don’t mind the texture of peach skin you can skip that step.
- Make sure your ice cream maker bowl is fully frozen before making this recipe. This usually takes 12-24 hours.
- When your ice cream is finished churning, it will have a soft serve consistency. You can serve it as is or let it firm up in a loaf pan in the freezer for a few hours.
- If you still have plenty of peaches after whipping up this ice cream, make some homemade peach jelly to enjoy on a slice of my beginner’s sourdough bread.
