Peach season is always a favorite at our house. There is nothing quite like the sweetness of fresh peaches mixed with the creamy richness of homemade ice cream. It is such a simple, joyful treat to make during the hot summer months.

This recipe is incredibly easy, making it a perfect activity to do with the kids. My best tip is to use the ripest, sweetest peaches you can find, as the flavor will really shine through in every scoop.

🧺 Ingredients

4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and chopped
1 cup granulated sugar, divided
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Place the chopped peaches in a blender with half of the sugar and let them sit for 30 minutes.
2
Pulse the blender a few times until the peaches are broken down into small, bite sized pieces rather than a smooth puree.
3
In a large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, vanilla extract, salt, and the remaining sugar.
4
Stir the peach and sugar mixture into the cream base, cover, and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
5
Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer instructions.
6
Transfer the churned ice cream to a loaf pan, cover it well, and freeze for at least 3 hours to firm up before serving.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in a freezer safe container with plastic wrap pressed directly against the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals. Make sure your ice cream maker bowl is frozen solid for at least 12 to 24 hours before you begin churning.
