Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups ripe peaches peeled and diced (about 3–4 peaches)
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
- 2 large eggs
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups half and half
- 2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon bourbon optional
Instructions
- Combine the diced peaches, sugar, lemon juice, and salt in a medium bowl and mix well. Allow it to rest for 20-30 minutes until juicy.
- Spoon half of the peaches and their juices into a small saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until they soften and thicken slightly. Take off the heat and let cool. Purée the softened peaches lightly in a blender or food processor until mostly smooth but with some texture. Set aside to cool.
- Refrigerate the remaining fresh peaches to add them later.
Notes
You can adjust the amount of sugar depending on the sweetness of the peaches.
For a creamier texture, churn in an ice cream maker after mixing the ingredients.
Bourbon adds depth, but can be omitted if you prefer a non-alcoholic version.
