Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe peaches, peeled and diced
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Wash and carefully peel the ripe peaches, removing any bruised areas. Dice the peaches into small, uniform cubes, ensuring they are roughly 1/4 inch in size.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced peaches with the Greek yogurt, creating a smooth and creamy base for the ice cream.
- Add the honey to the peach and yogurt mixture, stirring gently to ensure even distribution and complete incorporation of the sweetener.
- Pour in the vanilla extract and lemon juice, which will enhance the flavor profile and help prevent the peaches from browning.
- Using an immersion blender or food processor, blend the mixture until smooth but still maintaining some small peach chunks for texture.
- Transfer the mixture into a shallow freezer-safe container, spreading it evenly to ensure consistent freezing.
- Cover the container with plastic wrap or a tight-fitting lid and place in the freezer for approximately 2-3 hours.
- Every 30 minutes, remove the container and stir the mixture to break up ice crystals, ensuring a creamy consistency.
- Once the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency, serve immediately or allow to firm up for a more traditional ice cream texture.
- Garnish with fresh peach slices or mint leaves if desired, and enjoy your light, refreshing dessert.
Tips
- • Choose super ripe, fragrant peaches for the most intense flavor • Make sure to dice peaches into uniform small cubes for even texture • Use a good quality Greek yogurt for creamier consistency • Stir the mixture every 30 minutes while freezing to prevent large ice crystals • For extra smoothness, you can strain the mixture before freezing to remove any fibrous peach bits • If you prefer a sweeter dessert, adjust honey to taste • For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut cream • Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture or let it sit for a firmer ice cream • Garnish with fresh mint or additional peach slices for a stunning presentation
