A simple, rustic homemade peach ice cream recipe that captures the fresh, juicy flavor of summer peaches in a creamy, smooth dessert. Perfect for hot days and casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large ripe fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (divided)
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Macerate the peaches: Combine sliced peaches with 1/2 cup sugar and lemon juice in a mixing bowl. Stir gently to coat, then let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  2. Cook the peach mixture: Transfer peaches and juices to a medium saucepan. Simmer over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until peaches are soft but still hold some shape. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
  3. Prepare the ice cream base: In a separate bowl, whisk together heavy cream, whole milk, remaining 1/4 cup sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until sugar is dissolved.
  4. Combine and chill: Stir the cooled peach mixture into the cream base. Optionally blend briefly for a smoother texture or leave some peach chunks. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  5. Churn the ice cream: Pour the chilled mixture into a pre-frozen ice cream maker bowl. Churn according to manufacturer’s instructions until soft-serve consistency is reached (about 20-25 minutes).
  6. Freeze to firm up: Transfer ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for 2-4 hours. Let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping.

Notes

If peaches aren’t very sweet, add more sugar during maceration. Avoid over-churning to prevent icy texture. For dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream and milk with full-fat coconut milk. If no ice cream maker, freeze mixture in shallow container and stir every 30 minutes to reduce ice crystals. Keep ice cream maker bowl frozen for at least 24 hours before use.
