Ingredients

4 ripe peaches, peeled and diced

1 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon lemon juice

2 cups heavy cream

1 cup whole milk

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the diced peaches, 1/2 cup of sugar, and lemon juice. Mix well and let it sit for about 30 minutes to macerate. This will enhance the peach flavor.

After 30 minutes, use a potato masher or fork to gently mash the peaches, leaving some chunks for texture.

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the sugar is dissolved.

Stir in the mashed peach mixture until evenly combined.

Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

Serve in bowls or cones and enjoy your refreshing homemade peach ice cream!
