Homemade Peach Ice Cream Recipe

 

Ingredients:

For the Ice Cream Base:

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

For the Peach Mixture:

  • 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and chopped
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Peach Mixture:
    • In a medium bowl, combine the chopped peaches, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Mix well and let sit for about 30 minutes to macerate. This will help to release the juices from the peaches.
    • After 30 minutes, mash the peaches slightly with a fork or potato masher, leaving some chunks for texture. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the Ice Cream Base:
    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the sugar is completely dissolved.
    • Add the mashed peach mixture (including the juices) to the ice cream base and mix well.
  3. Chill the Mixture:
    • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour, or until it is well chilled. Chilling the mixture helps it freeze faster and better in the ice cream maker.
  4. Churn the Ice Cream:
    • Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes, depending on your ice cream maker.
  5. Freeze the Ice Cream:
    • Once the ice cream is churned to a soft-serve consistency, transfer it to an airtight container.
    • Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals from forming, and then cover with the container lid.
    • Freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
  6. Serve:
    • Scoop the peach ice cream into bowls or cones.
    • Garnish with fresh peach slices if desired.

Enjoy your homemade peach ice cream, a perfect blend of creamy texture and sweet, juicy peaches! This delightful treat is sure to be a hit with family and friends.
