Peaches and Cream
My local Peaches are so good! They are sweet and juicy and we love them. Well, we kinda have a love/hate relationship with them. You see, we just can’t get past the fuzzy outside. We don’t eat them “raw”, I’ve been baking away with them in some desserts. (I’ve got a few planned for Pint Sized Baker in the coming weeks.)
I wanted to make some Peach Ice Cream, but I wanted the peach to be separate from the ice cream. I was looking for a ribbony effect of the peaches.
So, I decided to make a basic Vanilla Bean Ice Cream and then add in some pureed peaches. In order to keep the two separate, I froze the peach puree in its own bowl first then I added it to the cream base.
Ribboning achieved!
You can almost think if it as a fruit granita meets vanilla ice cream. Yes the peach has an icy texture but I kinda liked that. It was a bit different in my mouth. There was some peach to eat and savor while it melted on my tongue. If you’re a peach lover, this ice cream is perfect for you!
- Recipe from Ben & Jerry's Homemade Ice Cream & Dessert Book
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup Sugar
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole Milk
- 1 tablespoon Bourbon Vanilla Bean Paste.
- 1 Peach, peeled
- In a KitchenAid Mixer
, whip eggs and sugar until pale yellow and slightly frothy. Add in the milk and cream and whip for 30 seconds. Add in Vanilla Bean Paste and stir to combine.
- Add to an Ice Cream Maker
and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
- Transfer to a freezer safe bowl and press plastic wrap on top of ice cream. This keeps ice crystals from forming.
- Remove the skin from the peach and puree it in a blender, food processor or hand mash until thin. Place it in a bowl and freeze for six hours.
- Remove ice cream and peach puree from freezer. Gently break up peach puree with a spoon and add to the ice cream. Fold the peach into the ice cream. Do not over mix the peach in. Once all the peach is incorporated, place plastic wrap over top and return to freezer overnight.
- Enjoy on a hot summer afternoon.

All your homemade ice cream is soooo good!!!! To bad I just don’t have your talent!!
There isn’t much talent involved with this one. Simple ingredients and a freezer…
Gorgeous photos!!! Dang I love ice cream. This is like the 5th ice cream recipe I’ve pinned this morning. If I make all these recipes I will either be 600 pounds or I’ll need an ice cream shop!
Lol… Just make one per week! That’s what I do.
This sounds so refreshing and looks so delicious. I came across your blog on Share Your Creativity.
Thanks for stopping by. I enjoyed the ice cream!
Your photo looks amazing! The only peaches we have around here are imported, but I’d love to try this with mangoes…we’ve got a huge tree full in front of the house. You’d better believe I’ll be right over to check out your chocolate brownie ice cream recipe too. Yum! Thanks for sharing, Karyn. I’m visiting from Marvelous Mondays.
Mango sounds good, too. I grew up with a Mango tree in our yard. My Mom hated it – called it a “trash tree” because of all the rotten mangoes it would drop.
On my other blog, Pint Sized Baker, I made these super easy Mango Gelees. Check it out here – https://www.pintsizedbaker.com/2013/07/mango-and-yogurt-gelees-for-bloom.html Enjoy!
Love it! This is amazing
what is better than peach ice cream in summer?
This looks delicious, Karyn! The color of the peaches just pops out! Pinning and sharing on Facebook and Twitter. Thanks for sharing at Marvelous Mondays!
Thanks so much Julie! I was hoping to see the peaches and the cream separately.
I have peach basil ice cream in the freezer but now I want to make this as well!
That sounds good!!
I’ve been making lots of ice cream lately, but not yet with peaches.
This ice cream simply looks fantastic!!
Thanks for the recipe
I liked the creamy vanilla and the sweet peaches. Separate and together. Give it a try.
I LOVE anything with peaches! Are local orchards have the best too! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Aren’t farm fresh peaches the best? I love them!

Thanks Cheryl. As soon as I saw the pingback, I headed over and linked up again!
I love peaches and cream and just got an ice cream maker. This recipe is on my list.
What do you mean you “just” got an ice cream maker? I love mine! I hope you love yours as well. I much prefer real ice cream over the no-churn stuff.
I know it’s hard to believe but I finally got one as a birthday gift this year. It hasn’t been out of the box, but that needs to change!
This looks sooooo good! I love the idea of granita and ice cream together. Yum!
It was great! I think all fruits can be done this way.
this look better than Ben and Jerrys
This ice cream sounds super yummy! I love the big chunks of peaches peeking through!
Totally irresistible! Thanks for linking up with What’s Cookin’ Wednesday!
This will be high on my list when I get my first peaches from the farmers’ market! Gorgeous ice cream!
I love the bursts of peaches in the ice cream instead of it all mixed in together!
Oh my word! This looks so yummy! My family loves homemade ice cream… and they really love it with mix -ins. Can’t wait to try the recipe. Thanks so much for sharing it at last week’s Tips & Tricks party. I hope you’ll link up at this week’s party, too? It just went live… Hope to see you there!
Thanks so much! It was a great ice cream!
