Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients on medium speed until peaches are in small bits.
- Pour mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze until firm.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor of your peach ice cream, consider using fresh, ripe peaches when in season. If fresh peaches are unavailable, frozen peaches work just as well. For a richer flavor, you can substitute some of the sugar with honey or maple syrup. Be sure to blend the mixture thoroughly to achieve a smooth texture, but leave some peach bits for added texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this delightful peach ice cream in chilled bowls or cones for a refreshing treat. It pairs beautifully with homemade desserts like Holly'S Dinner Rolls or can be enjoyed alongside a slice of peach pie for a delightful summer dessert experience. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or a drizzle of honey for an elegant touch.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover peach ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. To prevent ice crystals from forming, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface before sealing the container. When ready to enjoy, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use canned peaches instead of fresh or frozen?
Yes, you can use canned peaches, but make sure to drain them well before mixing to avoid excess liquid. Canned peaches may also be sweeter, so consider reducing the sugar slightly to balance the flavors.
How can I make this recipe without eggs?
For an egg-free version, you can replace the eggs with 1 cup of heavy cream for a creamy texture. Alternatively, use a plant-based cream for a dairy-free option. Adjust the sugar to taste, as some alternatives may be sweeter.
How long does it take for the ice cream to freeze completely?
Typically, it takes about 4-6 hours for the peach ice cream to freeze completely. For the best texture, let it freeze overnight. If it's too hard when you take it out, simply allow it to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
