Ingredients

• 4 medium ripe peaches
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon almond extract
• 0.5 cup sliced almonds
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Peel and pit the peaches, then chop them into small chunks.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, add the chopped peaches, 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches soften and release their juices.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature. Blend the cooled mixture into a puree using a blender or food processor, leaving a few chunks if desired for texture.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt until the sugar has dissolved.

Step 5

Stir the peach puree into the cream mixture until well combined.

Step 6

Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely chilled.

Step 7

Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes.

Step 8

During the last 5 minutes of churning, add the sliced almonds to the ice cream mixture, allowing them to incorporate evenly.

Step 9

Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours to firm up before serving.

Step 10

Scoop and serve the peach almond ice cream as is, or garnish with extra sliced almonds on top for added crunch.
