This Fresh Peach Ice Cream will make your mouth-water with it’s juicy, fresh peach flavor.  It’s like taking a bite of the creamiest, frozen, ripest peach you can imagine, all wrapped in a sweet dessert!

Hey readers!  I am *so* excited to be guest posting over at American Heritage Cooking today.  I don’t know if I’ve told you this before, but I *adore* Lindsey and I’ve self proclaimed myself as Lindsey’s blogging BFF. 🙂

Peach Ice Cream | Inspiration KitchenI was so honored to be invited to post on Lindsey’s amazing blog.  If you’ve never visited American Heritage Cooking, let me sum it up real quick for you – Lindsey has incredible recipes and photos so amazing, you might want to eat your screen.  No joke!

Yet, in getting the opportunity to blog there, I realized something really special…  I felt like I was home…

You see… what you may not know about me is, that I’m not only a follower and a friend, but as it turns out, Lindsey and I have learned that we sssooo speak the same food love language, that we are like sistahs!

Except that…

Peach Ice Cream | Inspiration Kitchen 1.  I can’t make gorgeous and amazing cupcakes and sweets like she can, and
2.  She can’t handle the heat quite like I can in my extra spicy dishes.

Which means, we are perfect for each other!  🙂

But, what I also realized when she invited me to post was.  There was no way, no how, I was going to post a cupcake recipe!  Because Lindsey is certifiably the best cupcake maker in the world.  Let me show you a few examples:

Peach Ice Cream | Inspiration Kitchen With each of those cupcake recipes, there’s a bit of goodness hidden inside.  Essentially, Lindsey likes to stuff stuff.  🙂  Like cupcakes.

And because I knew she liked peaches and was from Georgia, I wanted to make her something that would literally make her mouth water.  I couldn’t imagine a better recipe than a Fresh Peach Ice Cream.

And, let me tell you…  you.will.die.this.is.so.good.  **AND** it’s not a cupcake.  🙂

But this ice cream?  It’s like biting into the ripest, juiciest, most mouth-watering peach you can imagine.

Peach Ice Cream | Inspiration Kitchen So here’s what I want you to do….close your eyes…take a bite of this ice cream and wait.  Now…, can you feel the juice drizzle down your chin?  I can!!!

I would go so far as to say, this will be the best Peach Ice Cream you’ll ever taste.

Whether you serve it in an ice cream dish, a sugar cone or eat it straight from the container, the prominent peach flavor will not be lost on you!

To make this ice cream completely amazing, buy peaches that have great color, are ripe and are firm to the touch, yet the flesh should yield slightly.  And make sure they have a warm, fragrant peach aroma!

In this Peach Ice Cream, I used both the flesh and the skin of the peach and discarded the pit.  By using the skin, you will get flecks of the skin in the ice cream, which gives it a nice orange color with flecks of red.  It’s really festive, and enhances the peach flavor!  So don’t feel like you have to peel the peach.  Save yourself sometime and enjoy the color!

xoxo

Enjoy!

Fresh Peach Ice Cream

This Fresh Peach Ice Cream will make your mouth-water with it's juicy, fresh peach flavor. It's like taking a bite of the creamiest, frozen, ripest peach you can imagine wrapped in a sweet dessert!
Course: Desserts
Author: Kristi

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs beaten
  • 1 and 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 4 or 5 fresh peaches pitted, chopped with peels ON* (see note)
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup half-and-half cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste** see note
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional 15 drops of Electric Orange food coloring** see note

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix eggs and sugar together until thoroughly mixed and smooth.
  • Puree peaches in a food processor or blender and stir puree* (roughly 2 and 1/4 to 2 and 1/2 cups) into egg mixture.
  • Stir in cream, half-and-half, vanilla and salt. Mix well. Add food coloring if desired.
  • Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and follow manufacturer's directions. When done, transfer to an airtight bowl and freeze.

Notes

*I used 4 peaches with the skin on (washed first) to get more flavor and texture.
**Vanilla Bean Paste will give you a much sweeter and richer taste than Vanilla Bean Extract. I highly recommend you use Vanilla Bean Paste.
***The food coloring is entirely optional! If you choose NOT to use food coloring, please expect the ice cream to be much whiter in color. This is due to the heavy cream and half-and-half, which really dilutes the natural peach color, which is why I personally chose to use orange food coloring!

      Thanks Sarah! I adore Lindsey too – which is exactly why I knew I could *NOT* make cupcakes when guest posting for her. I hope you have a great week!

      OMGosh, I know Daniela! I swear Miss Lindsey is cupcake QUEEN! My peaches were definitely NOT ripe when I started (they aren’t in season here), but I let them ripen over a few days and they were perfection. So good! 🙂

    I love Lindsey, too, and when I guest posted there was no way I was posting a cupcake recipe either! haha I love that you did ice cream, and that you left the skin on! That’s such a great idea for that color, the extra nutrients, and some more texture. Fresh peaches are one of my favorite fruits, and I’m so on board with this ice cream! Pinned, and going to check out the recipe!

      Thanks for the pin Marcie! We loved the peach skin in this. Every once in a bite, we’d get a bit of peach too, which we loved. When we bought the peaches, they weren’t ripe (which made the peach shot easy to do), but when they ripened two days later, they were PERFECT in aroma, color, softness and juiciness! Absolutely fabulous. You’ll love it! xoxo

      Thank you Kristine! I can’t even begin to tell you how much your compliments on my photos mean to me (I”m **SO** serious about that). I had the WORST time getting the lighting right for this post, because I have to shoot in artificial light. I was so worried Lindsey would hate them. 🙁 All I can say is, I did the best I could, and some lighting days are better than others. So, to hear your compliment means more to me than you can ever imagine! xoxo

      Oh my, my Miss Kelly, I **SO** know what you mean. For me to try to do a cupcake recipe on Lindsey’s site is like a major food blogger fail before I even get started, because I just **KNOW** I can’t compete with the master. But Ice Cream? I have a chance. Hahahaha! I really hope you try the Ice Cream, because it honestly is like biting into a ripe peach! xoxo
