🍑🍦 Homemade Peach Ice Cream 🍦🍑

Ingredients:

– 2 pounds fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and chopped
– 1 cup white sugar
– 1 pint half-and-half cream
– 1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
– 1 (12 oz.) can evaporated milk
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 cups whole milk (or as needed)

Directions:

1. Prepare the Peaches:
– Peel, pit, and chop the peaches into small pieces.
– Place the peaches in a bowl, sprinkle them with sugar, and stir to coat evenly. Let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes to draw out the juices, creating a sweet peach syrup.

2. Make the Cream Base:
– In a large mixing bowl, combine the half-and-half cream, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract.
– Add the peaches and their syrup to the cream mixture. Stir well to combine, ensuring the flavors are evenly distributed.

3. Prepare the Ice Cream Maker:
– Pour the peach and cream mixture into the container of a gallon-sized ice cream maker.
– Add enough whole milk to bring the mixture to the container’s fill line, which is typically about 2 cups.

4. Churn the Ice Cream:
– Assemble the ice cream maker and churn the mixture according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This process usually takes 20-40 minutes, depending on your ice cream maker, until the mixture reaches a thick, creamy consistency.

5. Freeze for Firmer Ice Cream:
– For a soft-serve texture, you can serve the ice cream immediately after churning.
– For a firmer texture, transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container, cover it tightly, and freeze for 2-3 hours before serving.

Notes:
– You can substitute the peaches with other fruits, such as strawberries, blackberries, bananas, raspberries, or blueberries, to create a variety of fruity ice cream flavors.
– Fresh, ripe fruits will yield the best flavor and texture.
