Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large fresh ripe peaches, halved and pitted
- ⅓ cup (65g) granulated sugar
- 2 cups (480ml) heavy cream
- 1 can (14 oz/396g) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- A pinch of salt
- Optional add-ins: chopped toasted pecans or almonds, honey or maple syrup, cinnamon or ginger
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Halve and pit about 3 large ripe peaches. Place them cut side up on the lined baking sheet. Sprinkle ⅓ cup (65g) of sugar evenly over the peach halves.
- Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes until peaches are soft, golden, and caramelized around the edges.
- Let peaches cool slightly, then scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash lightly with a fork or pulse briefly in a food processor for smoother texture.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
- Using an electric mixer or whisk, whip 2 cups (480ml) of heavy cream until stiff peaks form (about 3-5 minutes).
- In a separate bowl, stir together 1 can (14 oz/396g) of sweetened condensed milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gently fold the mashed peach mixture into the condensed milk mixture.
- Carefully fold in the whipped cream in three batches, keeping the mixture airy and light.
- Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container, smooth the top with a spatula, cover tightly, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm but scoopable.
- Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly.
Notes
Use ripe peaches for best flavor. Roasting peaches enhances sweetness and texture. If ice cream freezes too hard, thaw for 10 minutes before serving. Stirring once or twice during the first 2 hours of freezing can improve creaminess but is optional. For dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut cream and sweetened condensed milk with sweetened condensed coconut milk.
