Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups ripe peaches peeled and diced (about 3–4 peaches)
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
- 2 large eggs
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups half and half
- 2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon bourbon optional
Instructions
- Combine diced peaches, sugar, lemon juice, and salt in a medium-sized bowl and mix well. Allow the mixture to sit for 20-30 minutes to release juices.
- Transfer half of the peach mixture with juices into a saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until the peaches soften and thicken slightly. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Lightly pulse the cooked peaches in a blender or food processor until mostly smooth, leaving some texture. Set aside to cool completely.
- Keep the remaining fresh peaches in the fridge to add later.
Notes
Make sure to use ripe peaches for the best flavor.
If you want a stronger peach flavor, consider adding more cooked or fresh peaches.
The bourbon is optional but adds a nice depth of flavor.
