A creamy and refreshing homemade peach ice cream featuring juicy peaches and warm bourbon vanilla, perfect for summer indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar, divided
  • 2 cups (480ml) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
  • 4 large egg yolks, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons bourbon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Toss peeled and sliced peaches with 1/4 cup (50g) sugar in a medium bowl and let sit for 30 minutes at room temperature to macerate.
  2. In a saucepan, combine heavy cream and whole milk. Heat over medium heat until just simmering, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. Whisk together egg yolks and 1/2 cup (100g) sugar in a bowl until pale and thick, about 2 minutes.
  4. Slowly pour about 1 cup of hot cream mixture into the egg yolks while whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
  5. Pour tempered yolks back into the saucepan with the remaining cream. Return to low heat and stir constantly until custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (170°F to 175°F), about 5 to 8 minutes.
  6. Strain custard through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl. Stir in salt and bourbon vanilla extract. Cool to room temperature, then cover and chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  7. Lightly mash half of the macerated peaches for a chunky sauce texture; reserve the other half as chunks.
  8. Stir mashed peaches and chunks into the chilled custard base. Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and churn for 20 to 25 minutes until thick and creamy.
  9. Transfer churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up before serving.

Notes

If you don’t have an ice cream maker, freeze the custard in a shallow container and stir vigorously every 30 minutes for 2-3 hours to break up ice crystals. Chilling the custard thoroughly before churning is key to smooth texture. Use quality bourbon vanilla extract for best flavor. Slightly underripe peaches hold shape better in the ice cream.
