🍑 Fresh Peach Ice Cream Recipe
Ingredients
2 cups Heavy whipping cream (chilled)
1 can (14 oz) Sweetened condensed milk
2 cups Fresh peaches (peeled and finely chopped or pureed)
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1 tbsp Lemon juice (to keep the peaches bright)
Optional: A pinch of salt to balance the sweetness
Instructions
Prepare the Peaches: Take your chopped peaches and toss them with the lemon juice. If you prefer a smoother ice cream, pulse half of them in a blender. Keep the other half chunky for texture.
Whip the Cream: In a large bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream until stiff peaks form. (Be careful not to over-whip it into butter!)
Mix the Base: In a separate medium bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt.
Fold it Together: Gently fold the condensed milk mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula. Do this slowly so you don’t lose the airiness.
Add the Fruit: Gently fold in your prepared peaches.
Freeze: Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or a freezer-safe container. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap or a lid.
Chill: Freeze for at least 6 to 8 hours, or overnight for the best scooping consistency.
Quick Pro-Tips
The Peaches: Make sure your peaches are very ripe! They should feel slightly soft and smell fragrant.
Serving: Let the container sit on the counter for about 5 minutes before scooping. This makes it much easier to get those perfect, round scoops like in your photo.
