Why You’ll Adore This No-Cook Peach Ice Cream
Bright, juicy fresh peaches paired with a custom blend of creamy milks create the ultimate light, refreshing summery treat.
It’s a home cook favorite because it requires no stovetop cooking and no eggs at all—no fussy custard work required.
“If you love biting into tender little peach chunks in every bite, puree about 3/4 of the peaches and chop the rest.” — Recipe reviewer Carrie
Ingredients
2 ½ pounds fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and chopped
1 pint half-and-half cream
½ cup granulated white sugar
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (12-fluid-ounce) can evaporated milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups whole milk, or more as needed to reach your container’s fill line
Step-by-Step Instructions
Prep and gather all your ingredients before you get started.
Work in small batches if needed, blending chopped peaches with half-and-half and sugar in a blender or food processor until smooth.
Combine the blended peach mixture, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract in the 1-gallon container of your ice cream freezer. Stir to mix evenly, then pour in enough whole milk to reach the container’s fill line (this typically adds up to around 2 cups total). Transfer the full mixed batch to your ice cream maker.
Churn and freeze the ice cream following your ice cream maker’s manufacturer instructions, which usually takes around 20 minutes to reach a soft-serve texture. Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight freezer-safe container, and freeze for an additional 4 hours to let it firm up completely before serving.
Helpful Recipe Tips
If you prefer your ice cream on the sweeter side, you can adjust the quantity to use up to 1 full cup of granulated sugar to match your taste preferences.
Pre-chilling your ice cream maker’s freezer bowl before churning will help your ice cream harden much faster after processing.
