Ingredients
- 3 cups Fresh peaches (peeled, pitted, and diced)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Add the diced peaches and granulated sugar to a medium bowl. Gently toss them together until the peaches are well-coated in sugar.
Step 2
Cover the bowl and let the peaches macerate at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow the juices to release.
Step 3
Transfer the macerated peaches and their juices to a blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture is smooth but still slightly chunky for texture.
Step 4
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until fully combined.
Step 5
Pour the peach puree into the cream mixture and stir until everything is evenly incorporated.
Step 6
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to chill completely.
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
Transfer the churned ice cream to a lidded, freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula, cover tightly, and freeze for at least 2–4 hours for a firmer texture.
Step 9
Scoop and serve the peach ice cream in bowls or cones. Enjoy!
