Equipment

  • 1 Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker
  • 1 Blender or Food Processor
  • (1) Mixing bowl (large)
  • (1) Whisk
  • 1 Airtight freezer container
  • 1 measuring cup
  • 1 Knife and Cutting Board (for chopping peaches)
  • 1 Spatula (for mixing ingredients)

Ingredients
  

  • 4-5 medium-sized peaches peeled, pitted, and chopped
  • 1 cup 240 ml heavy cream
  • 1 cup 240 ml whole milk
  • 3/4 cup 150 g granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon 15 ml fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon 5 ml vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peaches:

  • Peel and pit the peaches, then chop them into small pieces.
    In a bowl, toss the chopped peaches with 1/4 cup of sugar.
    Let the peaches sit for about 15 minutes to macerate and release their juices.

Blend the Peach Mixture:

  • Transfer the macerated peaches to a blender or food processor.
    Blend until smooth (or pulse for a chunkier texture, if preferred).
    If desired, add vanilla extract and lemon juice to the mixture.

Make the Ice Cream Base:

  • In a large bowl, combine heavy cream, whole milk, and the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved.
    Add the blended peach mixture and stir well to combine.

Churn the Ice Cream:

  • Pour the peach mixture into the pre-chilled bowl of your Cuisinart ice cream maker.
    Churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (typically about 20-25 minutes), until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.

Freeze to Set the Ice Cream:

  • Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and smooth it down.
    Freeze for 4-6 hours, or until it reaches a firm, scoopable consistency.

Serve and Enjoy:

  • Scoop the peach ice cream into bowls or cones.
    Garnish with extra peach slices, or toppings of your choice. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For a Dairy-Free Version: Substitute the heavy cream and whole milk with coconut cream or another non-dairy milk (like almond milk or oat milk) for a dairy-free peach ice cream.
  • Sugar Adjustments: Adjust the sugar to taste depending on the sweetness of your peaches. Ripe, in-season peaches may require less sugar, while less ripe peaches may need a little extra.
  • Texture Tips: If you prefer a smoother ice cream, blend the peaches into a fine puree. For a chunkier texture, pulse the peaches and leave some pieces intact. You can also add extra peach chunks after churning for more texture.
  • Storage: Homemade peach ice cream can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1-2 weeks in the freezer. Allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving if it becomes too hard.
