🍑 Homemade Peach Ice Cream

Although peaches can often be found year-round in grocery stores, they are at their absolute best during the summer months–sweeter, riper, and juicer than at any other time of year. And if you’re a fan of the peaches and cream combo, it’s extra serendipitous that peach season coincides with ice cream season. Sweet and tangy peaches, rich and smooth ice cream, all at peak awesomeness…what’s not to love?!

This homemade peach ice cream is another no-churn ice cream I’ve been loving lately. (Be sure to try our No-Churn Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream,  No-Churn Chocolate Ice Cream, and No-Churn Vanilla Ice Cream if you haven’t already!) It’s simple to make, is infused with so much peach flavor, and doesn’t require an ice cream maker.

Best of all, you can make this recipe with fresh OR canned peaches! I’ll be the first to tell you it’s absolutely epic with ripe summer peaches, but since they’re not available year-round (and since ice cream is definitely a year-round food at my house) canned peaches are a great substitute. It comes together in just 15 minutes, so you can be living your peaches & cream dreams sooner than you think.

🧾 What You’ll Need

Ingredients

You just need four super basic ingredients to put together this peach homemade ice cream! (Links are affiliate links and I earn a small commission from qualifying purchases.)

  • Heavy Whipping Cream: I recommend using heavy cream or manufacturing cream over whipping cream, when possible. Heavy cream and manufacturing cream have the most fat, which produces a better flavor and texture. For best results, make sure the cream is very cold before whipping it.
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk: This thick and rich sweetener will ensure that your ice cream doesn’t freeze too hard and is a perfect scoopable consistency. Make sure you use sweetened condensed milk, NOT evaporated milk. The cans look similar and they’re usually in the same section at the grocery store, but they are not the same thing. 
  • Cinnamon: cinnamon adds a nice warm flavor to balance out the sweetness of the other ingredients. This makes the ice cream taste like peach cobbler! You can leave it out if you prefer.
  • Peaches: you can use canned, sliced peaches to add the peach flavor. If you have sweet, ripe fresh peaches, you can use those instead–check the Tips section below for instructions!

Equipment

My favorite thing about no-churn ice cream? (Aside from the incredible flavor and texture, of course.) The simplicity! You can make it with equipment you probably already have on-hand. Here’s what you’ll need. (Links are affiliate links and I earn a small commission from qualifying purchases.)

  • Electric Mixer: a hand mixer or stand mixer will work to beat the heavy cream.
  • Ice Cream Scoop: an ice cream scoop makes it super easy to serve the finished ice cream.
  • Ice Cream Storage Container:use an ice cream storage container to keep the ice cream perfectly fresh and creamy in the freezer. If you don’t have one, you can use a loaf pan tightly wrapped with plastic wrap.

📋 Instructions

💭 Variations

This peach ice cream is about as fresh and delicious as it gets, but if you’re looking for ways to switch things up, here are a couple ideas!

  • Use another stone fruit. Try fresh stone fruit like nectarines, plums, apricots, or cherries. As with all fresh fruit, aim to get the ripest, softest, juiciest fruit you can find!
  • Try canned fruit. You could also experiment with other canned fruits or even canned pie filling. Be sure to drain any fruit/pie filling you want to use so that it doesn’t impact the texture of the ice cream.
  • Add mix-ins. Make a peach pie ice cream by mixing in crushed graham crackers, shortbread cookies, or crumbled baked pie crust.

💡 Tips and FAQs  

  • Using fresh peaches: You can use fresh peaches in this recipe as well. I recommend dicing the peaches if you do. Fresh peaches can be harder to break up into smaller pieces during the stirring process, and you’ll want the peach pieces to be small in the ice cream. You can leave the skins on, or remove them (personal preference).
  • Check the milk. It’s far too easy to grab evaporated milk instead of sweetened condensed milk. The sweetened condensed milk is key!
  • Chill the bowl and whisk. The colder equipment creates a lighter whipped cream which creates a lighter ice cream.
  • Don’t over mix. When you’re mixing the ice cream ingredients, gently fold only until just combined. Over-mixing deflates the cream.
  • Store in the back of the freezer. The further back the ice cream, the better the temperature is regulated. If the ice cream temperature fluctuates too much, ice crystals can form.
