💡 Tips for Perfect Homemade Peach Ice Cream
- Use ripe peaches: The riper the fruit, the sweeter and more flavorful your ice cream will be.
- Don’t skip chilling: A cold mixture helps the ice cream churn better and form a smoother texture.
- Add texture: Fold in small peach chunks after churning for a fruity surprise.
- Make it boozy: Add 1 tablespoon of peach schnapps or bourbon for an adult twist.
- Storage tip: Cover tightly and freeze for up to 2 weeks — just let it soften a bit before serving.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this without an ice cream maker?
Yes! Pour the mixture into a shallow dish, freeze for 1 hour, then stir vigorously every 30 minutes until smooth and frozen. It will have a more rustic, frozen custard texture. Can I use canned peaches?
Yes, but drain them first and reduce the sugar slightly since canned peaches are usually in syrup. What’s the best milk to use?
Half-and-half gives the creamiest texture, but you can use whole milk for a lighter version or heavy cream for extra richness. How long should I freeze it before serving?
Freeze for at least 4–6 hours for scoopable texture, or overnight for a firmer set.
