Servings: 1.5 quarts ice cream

Equipment

  • Ice Cream Maker, at least 1.5 quart capacity (Freeze the bowl at least 24-48 hours in advance, as needed!)

Ingredients

  • 1 heaping cup Fresh Peaches, sliced or diced
  • 1 ½ cups Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1 cup Whole Milk
  • ¾ cup Granulated Sugar (150 grams)
  • 2 Tablespoons Light Corn Syrup (to prevent ice crystals)
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/8-1/4 teaspoon Almond Extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon Kosher Salt

Instructions

  • Chill Your Ice Cream Bowl In Advance. If your ice cream maker has a chiller bowl, make sure to freeze it at LEAST 24-48 hours in advance so it's cold enough to churn the ice cream properly.
  • Blend The Base. Add peaches, heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, corn syrup, vanilla extract, 1/8 teaspoon almond extract, and the salt to a blender. Puree until completely smooth. Taste and mix in an additional 1/8 teaspoon almond extract, if desired.
  • Chill The Ice Cream Base in the fridge at least 2-3 hours, or until it's VERY cold. (Don't skip this step or your ice cream will not churn properly.)
  • Churn The Ice Cream. Give the chilled ice cream base a good stir to make sure everything is evenly blended. Then, churn ice cream according to your manufacturer's directions. (For me, this takes 25-30 minutes.) At this point the ice cream will have a soft-serve texture.
  • Freeze Ice Cream. For a firmer, scoop-able set, transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze at least 2-3 hours (up to 8 hours or overnight).
  • Scoop, Serve & Store. Enjoy scoops in bowls or on cones and store leftover ice cream in the freezer up to 2 weeks.

Notes

  • Chill, Chill, Chill! To make sure the ice cream churns properly, make sure you chill the ice cream maker bowl at LEAST 24-48 hrs. in advance, and chill the ice cream base at least 2-3 hours. 
  • Extras To Try. Chopped peaches can get VERY hard in the freezer (even if they're diced into small pieces!), but you can serve this ice cream with fresh sliced or chopped peaches for garnish! Or, try adding crumbled meringues, bits of graham cracker, etc. to the ice cream base before freezing.
