Ingredients
Instructions

- Add sugar to the peaches.
- Let sit for at least 30 minutes to macerate.
- Add remaining ingredients: cream soda, sweetened condensed milk, almond extract, vanilla, and enough whole milk to reach the fill line.
- Use rock salt and ice in a traditional ice cream maker to churn the mixture until frozen.
Tips & Substitutions
For the best flavor, use ripe, fresh peaches. If fresh peaches aren't available, frozen peaches can be used but may result in a slightly different texture. Substitute Shasta creme soda with any lemon-lime soda or ginger ale for a different twist. Consider adding a pinch of cinnamon for added warmth. Ensure the mixture is well-blended for smooth ice cream consistency.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this delicious peach ice cream in bowls or cones. It pairs beautifully with warm desserts like Mom's Soft Raisin Cookies or can be enjoyed alongside a slice of Layer Fruit Cake. Consider garnishing with fresh peach slices or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra special touch.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover peach ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. To maintain optimal texture, press a piece of parchment paper directly onto the surface before sealing. When ready to serve, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
