The parade of peaches continues, but this time no clever play on names for this recipe, it’s just straight forward delicious. I love this peach ice cream recipe, and the part I love most is leaving small chunks of peaches for the final freeze. The end result is great bits of frozen flavor nestled in the creamy mixture. When in the freezing stages it doesn’t set up as firm as a cooked version. But fear not, after it’s been in the freezer for a while, it sets up perfectly. This may be my favorite ice cream of the season.
Peach Ice Cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 4 egg yolks
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 5 peaches, peeled and chopped
Warm the milk in a small pan. Whisk the eggs with the sugar in a separate bowl. Slowly add warm milk to sugar mixture continuing to whisk. Pour mixture back in the pan and heat slowly until thickened, stirring constantly. It should look like very liquid pudding. Do not boil! Let cool to room temperature add cream, and vanilla. Chill overnight.
- Add peaches and stir well
- Follow directions on ice cream maker for churning.

Can I come over and have some of that ice cream? I’m just flat-out inviting myself.

I haven’t touched it since. I really should. Tell me I really should. ‘Cause peach ice cream sounds really really good right now.
