Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups ripe peaches peeled and diced (about 3–4 peaches)
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
- 2 large eggs
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups half and half
- 2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon bourbon optional
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine diced peaches, sugar, lemon juice, and salt. Toss together and let it sit for 20-30 minutes until juicy.
- Transfer half of the peach mixture to a small saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until softened and slightly thickened. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- Blend the cooked peaches in a blender or food processor until mostly smooth but still retaining some texture. Set aside to cool completely.
- Refrigerate the remaining fresh peach mixture to fold in later.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use ripe, juicy peaches.
Adding bourbon gives a subtle depth to the flavor, but it’s optional.
Ensure the mixture is completely cooled before churning to achieve the best texture.
