Ingredients
- 2 lbs fresh peaches – peeled, pitted, and chopped
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 pint half-and-half cream
- 1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Prepare the Peaches: Toss the chopped peaches with sugar and let them sit for 30 minutes to release their natural juices. Blend or mash to your desired texture—smooth for creamy consistency or with chunks for a fruity bite.
- Mix the Ice Cream Base: In a large bowl, whisk together the half-and-half cream and sweetened condensed milk. Stir in the peach mixture until well combined.
- Churn to Perfection: Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually 20-30 minutes) until thick and creamy.
- Freeze & Enjoy: Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours for a firmer texture. Scoop, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
- No Ice Cream Maker: Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes for 2-3 hours to break up ice crystals.
- Dairy-Free: Substitute half-and-half with coconut milk and use dairy-free condensed milk.
- Extra Creamy: Add 1 cup of heavy cream for a richer texture.
- Mix-ins: Try adding berries, nuts, or chocolate for extra texture and flavor.
- Boozy Option: Add a splash of peach liqueur or bourbon for an adult twist.
