Total Time: 4 hrs 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups ripe peaches, pureed
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Wash and slice ripe peaches, removing the pits. Place peaches in a blender and puree until smooth and creamy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peach puree, heavy cream, milk, honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk all ingredients together until well incorporated and the honey is completely dissolved.
- Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to become thoroughly chilled.
- Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically 20-25 minutes, until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover tightly with a lid or plastic wrap.
- Freeze the ice cream for an additional 2 hours or until it reaches a firm, scoopable texture.
- Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 3-5 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
Tips
- Choose ultra-ripe peaches for maximum sweetness and flavor intensity. The riper the peach, the more robust your ice cream will taste.
- Use local, high-quality honey for a more nuanced and authentic sweetness that complements the peaches beautifully.
- Chill all ingredients thoroughly before mixing to ensure a smoother churning process and creamier final texture.
- If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make this recipe by placing the mixture in a freezer-safe container and stirring vigorously every 30 minutes during freezing to break up ice crystals.
- For an extra luxurious touch, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or a splash of bourbon to enhance the peach and honey flavors.
