Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups ripe peaches peeled and diced (about 3–4 peaches)
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
- 2 large eggs
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups half and half
- 2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon bourbon optional
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the diced peaches, sugar, lemon juice, and salt. Toss to mix and let it sit for 20-30 minutes until juicy.
- Transfer half of the peaches along with their juices to a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until softened and slightly thickened. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Blend the cooked peaches lightly until mostly smooth with some texture.
- Keep the remaining fresh peaches refrigerated for later incorporation.
Notes
For a sweeter ice cream, adjust the sugar to taste based on the peach sweetness.
You can add the bourbon for a richer flavor, but it’s optional if you prefer a non-alcoholic version.
Store any leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
