Blender Ice Cream
A creamy, fruity ice cream made with fresh peaches and simple ingredients, perfect for a quick, refreshing treat suited for summer gatherings or a cool dessert.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Put milk, sugar, egg, and vanilla in a blender and blend for 30 seconds.
- Add frozen peaches and blend for 1 minute.
- Serve immediately or freeze for later.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using whole milk or adding a splash of heavy cream. If peaches aren't available, other frozen fruits like strawberries or mangoes can be substituted. To enhance flavor, try adding a pinch of salt or a tablespoon of lemon juice. Be sure to blend the ingredients thoroughly to achieve a smooth consistency.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the ice cream immediately after blending for a soft-serve consistency, or freeze it for a firmer texture. Consider topping it with fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, or crushed nuts for added flavor and texture. This ice cream pairs beautifully with Alice'S Pecan Pie for a delightful dessert duo.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks. Allow it to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping to soften it slightly. If it becomes too hard, blending it again briefly can help restore its creamy texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ice cream dairy-free?
Yes, you can use almond milk, coconut milk, or any other dairy-free milk. However, the texture may vary slightly, so you might want to add a thickener like coconut cream or a banana for creaminess.
Is it safe to use raw egg in this recipe?
Using raw eggs carries a risk of salmonella. If you're concerned, opt for pasteurized eggs or a substitute like silken tofu or yogurt to maintain creaminess without the raw egg.
How can I make this recipe without a blender?
If you don't have a blender, you can mash the frozen peaches and mix all other ingredients in a bowl, then use an electric mixer to combine until smooth. You might need to adjust the texture by beating it longer.
