Ingredients You’ll Need

2 cups fresh peaches: For the best flavor, choose ripe, juicy peaches that are in season. You can substitute with frozen peaches, but fresh gives the best taste and texture.
3 tbsp lemon juice: This brightens the flavor of the peaches and prevents them from browning. You can use lime juice as a substitute if you prefer a different citrus kick.
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk: This provides sweetness and creaminess, essential for that dreamy texture. You could try a low-fat version if you’re looking to reduce calories.
1 tsp vanilla: Pure vanilla extract enhances the overall flavor, adding warmth. I recommend avoiding imitation vanilla for the best results.
1/2 tsp salt: Just a pinch helps balance the sweetness and enhances the flavors beautifully.
2 cups heavy whipping cream: This is crucial for creating the airy and creamy texture. You can use light whipping cream, but the texture may be less luxurious.

How to Make No Churn Peaches and Cream Ice Cream

Prepare the Peach Puree: Start by peeling, pitting, and slicing enough peaches to make 2 cups. Place the sliced peaches in a food processor, add 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, and blend until smooth. This will give you a fresh peach base that will work wonders in your ice cream.
Mix the Creamy Base: To the peach puree, add one 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Blend these together until everything is nicely combined. Set this delicious mixture aside while you whip the cream.
Whip the Cream: In a large bowl, pour in 2 cups of heavy whipping cream and use a mixer to beat it until stiff peaks form—this usually takes about 5 minutes. You want it to hold its shape firmly, which gives your ice cream its dreamy texture.
Combine the Mixtures: Gently fold the peach puree mixture into the whipped cream, taking care not to deflate the whipped cream too much. This step is essential as it keeps your ice cream light and airy.
Layer with Additional Peaches: If desired, peel, pit, and slice extra peaches to layer with your ice cream mixture. This adds delightful pockets of fresh peach throughout.
Freeze It: In a large loaf pan, layer the ice cream mixture, followed by the peach slices, continuing until everything is used up. You’ll want to finish with the ice cream mixture on top. Cover tightly and place in the freezer overnight to firm up.

Storing & Reheating

Store your No Churn Peaches and Cream Ice Cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to three months. For the best flavor and texture, it’s best consumed within a month. If it starts to harden too much, let it sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes before scooping to soften slightly.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Make sure your heavy whipping cream is cold before whipping; this helps it whip up faster and increases volume.
Don’t overmix when folding in the peach mixture; gentle folding helps retain the airy texture.
If your ice cream is too hard after freezing, give it a little time at room temperature to soften before scooping.
Feel free to experiment with other fruits or flavors, such as strawberries or blueberries.
For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of bourbon or peach schnapps to the peach mixture before folding it into the cream.

Nothing says summertime quite like a bowl of homemade ice cream, and this peach creation is sure to impress. The sweetness of the peaches combined with the creamy delight is utterly irresistible, and each bite should transport you back to warm afternoons spent lounging in the sun. Don’t hesitate to try variations with other seasonal fruits; the possibilities are endless!

Recipe FAQs

Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh?

Absolutely! Frozen peaches work well in this recipe. Just make sure they are fully thawed and drained of excess liquid before blending.

How long does it take for the ice cream to freeze?

Allow your ice cream to freeze overnight for the best texture. However, if you’re in a hurry, a minimum of six hours should suffice.

Can I add other ingredients like nuts or chocolate chips?

Certainly! Feel free to fold in chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or even a swirl of caramel when combining the mixtures for a fun variation.

What’s the best way to serve this ice cream?

Scoop it into bowls or cones, and feel free to garnish with extra peach slices, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a drizzle of honey for an added touch!
