Ingredients
For the Ice Cream Base
- 2 pounds fresh peaches, peeled and chopped
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 pint half-and-half
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
- 1 can evaporated milk (12 fl oz)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped peaches and white sugar. Stir gently and let this mixture sit for about an hour to release natural juices.
- After an hour, use a blender or food processor to puree the sweetened peaches until smooth, leaving some chunks if desired.
- In another bowl, stir together the peach puree, half-and-half, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Slowly add whole milk to the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency.
Churning
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn for 20-30 minutes, adding remaining peach chunks in the last few minutes.
Freezing
- Transfer the churned ice cream into a container and freeze for 2-4 hours until firm.
- If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a dish and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes for about 3-4 hours.
Notes
Add a pinch of salt to balance sweetness. Mix in other fruits like strawberries for a blend, or crushed graham crackers/nuts for crunch. Store leftovers in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn.
