Peaches and Cream Ice Cream Recipe
Nicole Weston's recipe for Peaches and Cream is shared with permission from Storey Publishing. Peach ice cream is like summer in a cup. Not only does the ice cream have a honeyed sweetness from ripe peaches, but it also has a lovely yellow hue that makes the ice cream look very sunny and bright. Unlike berries, peaches need to be cooked slightly to tenderize them and enhance their sweetness before they can be puréed and incorporated into an ice cream base. If you are feeling adventurous, a mixture of half peaches and half apricots can make a wonderful variation.

Ingredients
- 1 pound peaches peeled and pitted (or 1 pound frozen peaches)
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Notes
- I used vanilla extract in this recipe. If you have whole vanilla bean (1 bean, split and scrape) or vanilla bean paste (1 teaspoon), they would be delicious and beautiful alternatives to vanilla extract.
- Upon additional testing, I also used frozen peaches as an alternative to making this recipe when peaches are not in season.
