Ingredients You’ll Need

2 cups fresh peaches: Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best yield of flavor. Alternative fruits like strawberries or cherries can also be used in a pinch.
3 tbsp lemon juice: This adds brightness and balances the sweetness from the peaches.
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk: This ingredient provides rich creaminess and sweetness without the need for cooking.
1 tsp vanilla: A splash of vanilla enhances the overall flavor profile of the ice cream.
1/2 tsp salt: Salt enhances the sweetness and provides a subtle depth to the taste.
2 cups heavy whipping cream: The key ingredient for making your ice cream rich and fluffy. Be sure to use cold heavy cream for best results.

How to Make No Churn Peaches and Cream Ice Cream

Prepare the Peach Puree: Peel, pit, and slice enough peaches to measure 2 cups. Place them into a food processor and add 3 tablespoons of lemon juice. Blend until smooth, creating a lovely peach puree.
Blend the Mixture: To the peach puree, add 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Blend again until everything is well combined and smooth.
Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to beat 2 cups of heavy whipping cream. Whip until it holds stiff peaks, which should take about 5 minutes. This is crucial for achieving that creamy, airy texture!
Combine the Mixtures: Gently fold the peach mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula until no white streaks remain. Be careful to fold and not stir too vigorously to maintain the fluffiness of the whipped cream.
Layer Additional Peaches: If desired, peel, pit, and slice extra peaches to layer with the ice cream mixture. This gives added texture and fruity bites in each scoop.
Layer & Freeze: In a large loaf pan, spoon the ice cream mixture in layers, alternating with the sliced peaches if you’re using them. Start with ice cream, then peach slices, and repeat until all components are used up.
Final Freeze: Cover the pan with plastic wrap, and freeze overnight or for at least 8 hours to let the ice cream firm up.

Storing & Reheating

To keep your No Churn Peaches and Cream Ice Cream fresh, store it in the freezer in an airtight container. It can stay frozen for up to three months without losing flavor. If you’ve left it out a bit and it’s too hard to scoop, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes for easier serving. The texture might change slightly, but you can always perk it up by giving it a quick stir before serving!

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Avoid overwhipping the cream; stop as soon as you hit stiff peaks, or your ice cream might turn grainy.
If your peaches are a bit firm, let them sit at room temperature to ripen slightly before using.
For an extra burst of flavor, you can add a splash of rum or bourbon to the peach mixture before combining it with the cream.
Adjust the sweetness to your preference by starting with less sweetened condensed milk and adding more if necessary.

No summer is complete without indulging in this delightful No Churn Peaches and Cream Ice Cream. The sweetness of ripe peaches mixed with the luscious creamy base creates an irresistible frozen treat perfect for anyone. So, gather your ingredients, and let’s get started! Don’t hesitate to try different fruits or mix-ins; make this recipe your own!

The prep time is about 15 minutes, but then you’ll need to freeze it for at least 8 hours, so it’s best to make it the day before you plan to serve it.

Can I make this recipe in advance?

Yes! This ice cream can be made up to three months in advance, making it a great option for parties and gatherings.

What’s the best way to serve this ice cream?

Scoop it directly from the pan and serve it in bowls or cones. Adding fresh mint leaves as a garnish can also elevate the presentation, making it perfect for impressing guests!
