What’s better than fresh peach ice cream for a summer dessert? Not much! This easy ice cream can be made in less than an hour in an ice cream maker.
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups ripe, sweet peaches, peeled and stoned (about 3 medium peaches)
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup evaporated milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
METHOD:
In a large bowl, mash the peaches into a coarse puree. Stir in 1/4 cup of the sugar. Let stand 1 hour.
Add the cream, evaporated milk, remaining 1/4 cup sugar, and vanilla to peaches, stirring to blend. Refrigerate, covered, until very cold, at least 3 hours or as long as 3 days.
Stir the mixture to blend and pour into the canister of an ice cream maker. Freeze according to the manufacturer’s directions. Eat at once or transfer to a covered container and freeze for up to 8 hours.
