- Category: Dessert
- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
- 2½ cups chopped or mashed peaches (peeled)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon almond extract (optional but recommended)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Peaches: Peel the peaches by blanching them in boiling water for 20–30 seconds, then transferring them to an ice bath. The skins will slide off easily. Chop or mash the peaches based on your texture preference.
- Macerate the Peaches: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped peaches with sugar. Let them sit for about 10 minutes until they release their juices.
- Mix the Base: Add sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, whole milk, lemon juice, vanilla extract, almond extract, and a pinch of salt to the bowl. Stir until well combined.
- Chill the Mixture: Cover and refrigerate for at least 2–4 hours until very cold. This helps achieve a creamy consistency during churning.
- Churn the Ice Cream: Pour the chilled mixture into your pre-frozen Cuisinart ice cream maker bowl. Churn according to your machine’s instructions (typically 20–30 minutes) until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Freeze (Optional): For firmer ice cream, transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2–3 hours before serving.
Notes
Serving Suggestions:
Serve in waffle cones or bowls topped with fresh peach slices or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an indulgent treat.
Tips & Tricks:
- For smoother ice cream, puree all the peaches instead of leaving chunks.
- Chill ingredients beforehand to reduce overall prep time.
Storage & Reheating:
Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks. Place plastic wrap directly on top of the ice cream to prevent freezer burn. If frozen too hard, let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before scooping.
