Ingredients You’ll Need

2 cups fresh peaches: Choose ripe peaches for the best flavor. If fresh ones aren’t available, frozen peaches can work in a pinch, but adjust the quantity for the water content.
3 tbsp lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice adds brightness and balances the sweetness of the peaches; bottled juice can be used, but fresh is always better.
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk: This plays a crucial role in adding creaminess and sweetness. Look for brands that use high-quality ingredients for best results.
1 tsp vanilla: Use pure vanilla extract to enhance flavor. While imitation vanilla is an option, pure vanilla lends a richer taste.
1/2 tsp salt: A small amount of salt brings all the flavors together and enhances sweetness.
2 cups heavy whipping cream: This is the base for the creaminess. Avoid substitutes like half-and-half, as they won’t whip well.

How to Make No Churn Peaches and Cream Ice Cream

Prepare the Peaches: Begin by peeling, pitting, and slicing enough fresh peaches to make 2 cups. Place these luscious slices into a food processor, then add 3 tablespoons of lemon juice. Blend until you have a smooth puree that captures all that peachy goodness.
Mix the Base: Next, incorporate the 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Blend this mixture with the peach puree until everything is seamlessly combined. It’s a sweet peach dream just waiting to come to life!
Whip the Cream: In a large bowl, use a mixer to beat 2 cups of heavy whipping cream until it reaches stiff peaks, which takes about 5 minutes. You’ll want it thick and fluffy—this is what makes your ice cream light and airy.
Combine: Gently fold the peach puree mixture into the whipped cream. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream; you want to keep that airy texture for a delightful ice cream.
Layer with Peaches: If you wish to add more texture, prepare additional peaches to layer within your ice cream. Just peel, pit, and slice them as desired.
Layer in Pan: In a large loaf pan, start layering your ice cream mixture: add some ice cream on the bottom, followed by peach slices, then more ice cream, and repeat until your pan is full.
Freeze: Cover your pan with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the freezer overnight. This allows the ice cream to set up perfectly.

Storing & Reheating

Store any leftover No Churn Peaches and Cream Ice Cream in the freezer in an airtight container, where it will keep well for up to 2 months. If you plan to enjoy it later, let it sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before scooping to make it easier to serve. Keep in mind that the texture may change slightly after freezing, but a quick mix with a spoon will help revive its creamy goodness.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

When whipping the cream, ensure it’s cold to achieve the best volume.
If your peach slices are tough to slice, try using a sharp knife or a vegetable peeler to make things easier.
Want a more intense peach flavor? Freeze some peaches partially and blend them in when mixing.
Not a fan of peach? This recipe can easily be adapted for strawberries or blueberries for a delightful change.
If you want a healthier option, you can swap sweetened condensed milk with a homemade version using milk and sugar, controlling the sweetness yourself.

No churn recipes like this one offer such an amazing blend of flavor and ease; don’t hesitate to get creative! Experimenting with different fruits or even adding cookie pieces could elevate your ice cream to a new level. The blend between the luscious cream and sweet peaches is just calling for you to dig in.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh ones?

Absolutely! Frozen peaches are a great alternative, especially when fresh peaches aren’t in season. Just make sure to let them thaw and press excess moisture out for the best texture.

How long will this ice cream last in the freezer?

When stored properly in an airtight container, your No Churn Peaches and Cream Ice Cream will last for about 2 months. However, it’s usually enjoyed long before then!

Why is my ice cream too hard to scoop?

If your ice cream is too hard, it might be due to it being frozen too long or not incorporating enough air during the whipping process. Let it sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before scooping.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Yes! You can substitute heavy whipping cream with coconut cream and the sweetened condensed milk with a coconut-based version for a delicious dairy-free alternative!
