Ingredients You’ll Need

2 cups fresh peaches: Make sure to select ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor. You can substitute with canned peaches, but fresh gives the best taste and texture.
3 tbsp lemon juice: This helps enhance the peach flavor while preventing oxidation, keeping those luscious peach colors vibrant.
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk: Adds a delicious sweetness and creamy texture that rivals traditional ice cream.
1 tsp vanilla: A must for adding depth and extra richness; use pure vanilla extract for the best flavor.
1/2 tsp salt: Balances the sweetness and enhances the overall flavor of the ice cream.
2 cups heavy whipping cream: Whipping cream provides that light, airy texture that sets no-churn ice creams apart from commercial varieties.

How to Make No Churn Peaches and Cream Ice Cream

Prepare the Peach Puree: Start by peeling, pitting, and slicing enough fresh peaches to yield 2 cups. Then, transfer these luscious slices into a food processor, adding 3 tablespoons of lemon juice. Blend until you achieve a smooth, homogenous puree.
Combine Ingredients: Next, add the 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the peach puree. Blend everything until perfectly combined, then set this delightful mixture aside.
Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat 2 cups of heavy whipping cream. Continue whipping until you reach stiff peaks—this step typically takes about 5 minutes. Stiff peaks mean your cream holds its shape perfectly once prepared.
Fold in Puree: Gently fold the peach puree mixture into the whipped cream. Use a rubber spatula and mix well, being careful to preserve the air you just whipped into the cream—it’s what gives this treat its dreamy lightness.
Layer the Ice Cream: If you wish to include additional peach slices for layering, peel, pit, and slice your desired amount of peaches now. Grab a large loaf pan and start layering: add a layer of your ice cream mixture, top it with peach slices, and repeat until you use up all the mixture and peaches.
Freeze Overnight: Cover the loaf pan with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the freezer. Leave it overnight—or at least for about 6 hours—until the ice cream is fully set. Patience is the key to a perfect frozen treat!

Storing & Reheating

For short-term storage, keep No Churn Peaches and Cream Ice Cream covered in the freezer. If sealed tightly, it will maintain its quality for up to 3 months. To refresh the texture before serving, allow it to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. The flavor may slightly mellow over time, so if you want to re-energize those sweet notes, consider swirling in fresh peach puree just before serving.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

If you whip your cream too much, it can become grainy; stop whipping once you hit stiff peaks.
Use chilled mixing bowls and beaters to help the cream whip up better and faster.
If you prefer a sweeter ice cream, feel free to adjust the sugar in the condensed milk or add a tablespoon of powdered sugar when whipping the cream.
You can play around with flavors! Consider adding a splash of almond extract or some finely chopped mint for a fun twist.
Make sure to evenly spread the peach puree into the whipped cream for a beautiful swirled effect.

No Churn Peaches and Cream Ice Cream is a dream come true for peach lovers and ice cream enthusiasts alike. Those who crave the comforting essence of summer need look no further! The subtle combination of sweet peaches and rich cream offers a delightful escape from the ordinary. Don’t hesitate to experiment with variations and serve it alongside fresh fruits or cookies!

Recipe FAQs

Can I use frozen peaches in this recipe?

Absolutely! Frozen peaches can be used in place of fresh ones. Just make sure to thaw and drain any excess liquid before pureeing them, ensuring that your ice cream has the right texture.

How do I make this recipe dairy-free?

To make a dairy-free version, swap out the heavy whipping cream with coconut cream or a non-dairy whipped topping. Replace the sweetened condensed milk with a coconut or almond milk alternative that has a similar creamy consistency.

Can I make this ice cream without a food processor?

If you don’t have a food processor, simply mash the peaches with a fork until smooth. You may have a chunkier texture, but it will still be delicious!

How long does it take to freeze?

While you can enjoy it after a few hours, it’s recommended to freeze No Churn Peaches and Cream Ice Cream for at least 6 hours to ensure it’s firm enough to scoop. For the best results, let it freeze overnight.
