Homemade Peach Ice Cream Made
This creamy, classic homemade peach ice cream will soon become one of your favorite summer treats. Using a Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker means that making it will be a breeze too!
Equipment
- Muddler I use this for mashing the peaches
Ingredients
- 3 cups sliced fresh peaches peeled (you could also use thawed frozen peaches)
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 cup sugar divided
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- NOTE – Be sure to chill the freezer bowl 8 hours or overnight
- In a small bowl, combine the peaches with the lemon juice and 1/2 cup of sugar. Gently stir and allow the peaches to soak in the juices for 2 hours. Strain the peaches, reserving the juices. Mash or puree the peach slices.
- In a medium mixing bowl, use a hand mixer on low speed to combine the milk and remaining sugar until the sugar is dissolved, about 1 or 2 minutes. Stir in the the heavy cream, reserved peach juices, half of the mashed peach slices, and vanilla.
- Cover mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3 - 4 hours or overnight.
- Turn on the Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker, pour the mixture into the freezer bowl, and let mix until thickened, about 20 to 25 minutes. Five minutes before mixing is completed, add the remaining mashed peaches and let mix in completely. The ice cream will have a soft, creamy texture. I recommend storing it in this container that has thousands of 5 star reviews: Homemade Ice Cream Freezer Tub
Notes
If a firmer consistency is desired, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and place in the freezer for about 2 hours. Remove from freezer about 10 minutes before serving.
Some have reached out to let me know that this recipe will overflow slightly in the smaller (1/5 qt) ice cream maker. If you have this size machine, reduce the amount of milk by 1/3 cup and cream by 2/3 cup. Cut the amount of peaches to 2 cups.
