A creamy, luscious homemade peach ice cream inspired by Baskin Robbins, featuring fresh peaches and a smooth custard base without eggs. Perfect for summer gatherings and satisfying peach cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large ripe peaches (about 1 pound / 450 grams), peeled and pitted
  • 3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon peach schnapps or peach brandy

Instructions

  1. Peel the peaches by blanching them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunge into ice water. Pit and cut into chunks. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
  2. Place peach chunks in a blender or food processor. Add 1/4 cup (50 grams) sugar and lemon juice. Blend until smooth but slightly textured. Optionally strain through a fine mesh sieve. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine milk, heavy cream, remaining sugar (1/2 cup or 100 grams), and a pinch of salt. Warm over medium heat until sugar dissolves and mixture is hot but not boiling, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. (Prep time: 7 minutes)
  4. Stir peach puree into the warm cream mixture. Pour into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap pressed onto the surface, and chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours, ideally overnight. (Chill time: 3-12 hours)
  5. Pour chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer’s instructions, usually 20-25 minutes, until thick and creamy. (Churn time: 20-25 minutes)
  6. Transfer churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container. Press parchment paper on the surface to prevent ice crystals. Freeze for at least 4 hours until firm. (Freeze time: 4+ hours)
  7. Let ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping and serving.

Notes

Use ripe peaches for best flavor. Chill the base thoroughly before churning to avoid icy texture. For dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream and milk with full-fat coconut milk. Optional peach schnapps adds an adult twist. If no ice cream maker, freeze mixture in shallow container and stir every 30 minutes for about 3 hours.
