Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and chopped
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 pint half-and-half cream
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 fl oz) evaporated milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups whole milk (or as needed)
Instructions
- Dice the fresh peaches and mix them with the white sugar in a bowl. Let the mixture sit for about 10-15 minutes to draw out the juices from the peaches.
- In a separate large bowl, combine the half-and-half cream, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add the peaches and sugar mixture to the dairy base. Stir everything together until the peaches are evenly distributed throughout.
- Pour the mixture into the ice cream maker container. Add enough whole milk to fill the container up to the fill line (approximately 2 cups, or adjust based on your container).
- Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your ice cream maker. Freeze the mixture according to the instructions.
- Once the ice cream has reached a soft-serve consistency, transfer it to a lidded container and freeze for 2-3 hours for a firmer texture.
Notes
- This recipe can easily be adapted with other fruits like strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, or even bananas. Just substitute the peaches with your fruit of choice, adjusting sugar levels accordingly.
- For best results, chill the ice cream maker container before use to help the ice cream harden faster.
