Ingredients
Instructions
- Chop enough peaches to make 1 cup.
- Puree remaining peaches in a blender or food processor to measure 2 1/2 cups.
- Sprinkle gelatin over milk in a medium saucepan.
- Let stand for one minute to soften.
- Heat the milk and gelatin mixture over medium heat until the gelatin dissolves completely.
- Combine the peach purees, low fat milk, yogurt, sugar, and vanilla in a mixing bowl.
- Mix well until sugar is dissolved and ingredients are fully combined.
- Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm, stirring occasionally if desired for a creamier texture.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, stir the mixture every hour while it’s freezing. If fresh peaches are out of season, you can substitute with frozen peaches, ensuring they are thawed and drained well. To reduce sugar, consider using a natural sweetener like stevia or honey, keeping in mind that it may alter the taste slightly. This recipe is also great for customizing by adding ingredients from American recipes, such as nuts or chocolate chips.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the peach ice cream in chilled bowls or cones, and consider garnishing with fresh peach slices or a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra touch. It pairs beautifully with Sweet Fritters as a delightful dessert combo. You can also drizzle some chocolate syrup on top for added flavor or serve alongside a light fruit salad for a refreshing treat.
Storage & Reheating
Store 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 of the ice cream before sealing the container. When ready to serve, allow it to sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to scoop.
