Ingredients
Instructions
- Dissolve the gelatine in 1/4 cup cold water.
- Add boiling water to the gelatine mixture to completely dissolve it.
- Place all ingredients (except peaches), including the gelatine mixture, in a blender.
- Thoroughly blend until smooth.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using heavy cream instead of half and half. If you prefer a sweeter ice cream, adjust the sugar to taste. You can also add a few drops of almond extract for an extra layer of flavor. Ensure that the gelatine is fully dissolved to avoid any lumps, and blend the mixture thoroughly for a smooth finish.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this peach ice cream in bowls or cones for a delightful treat. It pairs beautifully with fresh peach slices or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. For a fun twist, consider serving it alongside 'Peach Puff Salad' for a refreshing summer dessert combo. Garnish with mint leaves for an elegant touch.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. To maintain the best texture, place a piece of parchment paper directly on the surface before sealing the container. When ready to serve, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften, making it easier to scoop.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of gelatine?
Using fresh peaches is a great option, but you'll need to puree them and adjust the sugar accordingly. Keep in mind that fresh fruit may alter the texture, so you might not achieve the same creamy consistency without the gelatine. It's best to blend the peaches with the other ingredients for a smooth result.
How long does this ice cream take to freeze?
Typically, this ice cream will take about 4 to 6 hours to freeze completely. For best results, allow it to sit overnight in the freezer. This will help the flavors meld together nicely and ensure a firmer texture when scooping.
Is this recipe suitable for those with dietary restrictions?
Yes, this recipe is suitable for vegetarians as it does not contain eggs. However, be mindful of the type of milk used if you're catering to lactose intolerance. Consider substituting dairy milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version, ensuring the gelatine used is also vegetarian-friendly.
