Instant Peach Ice Cream
Description
Instant Peach Ice Cream uses frozen peaches, coconut milk, and maple syrup processed together until smooth and creamy. The recipe optionally includes fresh lemon juice to enhance the fruit's brightness. The mixture can be served right away for softer texture or frozen several hours for a more solid consistency that scoops like traditional ice cream.
The flavor is naturally fruity and mildly sweet with a coconut undertone, relying on the frozen fruit for most texture and taste. The preparation requires only blending, making it accessible without ice cream makers or complex chilling steps.
This dessert can be stored in the freezer for up to three months, though it freezes quite hard and benefits from resting at room temperature before serving to soften. It is a vegan-friendly ice cream alternative that highlights fresh peach flavor.
The notes mention adjustments like swapping maple syrup for honey if desired and suggest water instead of coconut milk for a sorbet version, allowing for flexibility depending on dietary preferences and ingredient availability.
Ingredients
- 16 ounces peaches frozen
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice optional, fresh
Instructions
- In a large food processor fitted with an "S" blade, add the frozen peaches, coconut milk, and maple syrup. Process until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides, if necessary. Taste the ice cream, and add the lemon juice if you need to brighten up the flavor. (This isn't always necessary, depeding on how the peaches taste.)
- Serve the ice cream right away for a soft serve consistency, or transfer it to an airtight container in the freezer to freeze for 2 to 4 hours. This will give you a more scoop-able consistency.
- The peach ice cream can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. It will freeze very solid overnight, so to serve again, be sure to let it sit at room temperature for at least 15 mintues to help it soften up.
Notes
- The estimated nutrition is for about a half-cup serving of the ice cream.
- Maple syrup may be replaced with honey for a non-vegan version.
- Using water instead of coconut milk results in a peach sorbet rather than ice cream.
- Freeze the ice cream for 2 to 4 hours to achieve a scoopable consistency, and let frozen portions soften for at least 15 minutes before serving.
