A quick and creamy no-churn peach ice cream that combines fresh peaches and vanilla for a refreshing summer treat without the need for an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 1 1/2 cups / 225g sliced)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream (480ml), chilled
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz / 396g)
  • Optional: 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice about 3 medium peaches (approximately 1 1/2 cups / 225g sliced). Place them in a medium bowl with 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar. Let them macerate for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Optional but recommended: Transfer the peaches and their juice to a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the peaches soften and the mixture thickens slightly. Let cool completely.
  3. In a large chilled bowl, pour 2 cups (480ml) heavy whipping cream. Using an electric mixer, whip on medium-high speed until soft peaks form (about 3-4 minutes).
  4. Gently fold 1 can (14 oz / 396g) sweetened condensed milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or extract) into the whipped cream using a rubber spatula.
  5. Once the peach mixture is cool, gently fold it into the cream mixture, aiming for even distribution without overmixing.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top, cover with a lid or plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  7. Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.

Notes

Chill your mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream for best results. Do not overwhip the cream to avoid grainy texture. Cooking peaches is optional but recommended to intensify flavor and reduce icy texture. Fold ingredients gently to keep mixture airy. Freeze in a shallow container for even setting. Let ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping. Optional additions include toasted almonds, spices, or alcohol for variations.
