Peach Ice cream
This Peach Ice Cream is creamy and light! It is an easy summer dessert that bursts with the flavor of fresh peaches, and if you like to add even more peach goodness to it, drizzle the scoops with homemade peach compote.
Ingredients
- 130 g Half and half
- 250 g Heavy whipping cream
- 120 g Granulated sugar
- 3 Egg yolks
- 500 g Ripe peaches about 4
- 60 g Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions
Custard:
- In a medium-sized pan, combine the half-and-half and the cream, and over medium heat, bring to a light boil.
- Add sugar (120g) and egg yolks into a small mixing bowl and whisk together.
- Whisk about half a cup of the hot cream into the egg mixture. This step is necessary; to temper the eggs to prevent them from turning into scrambled eggs.
- Return the mixture to the pan with the cream, and carefully cook over medium heat, constantly stirring, until the mixture thickens. The custard needs to be thick enough to coat a spoon without it dripping down everywhere.
- Place the pan in ice-cold water and stir to cool to room temperature.
- Cover and chill for 2-3 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
Add the peaches:
- Shortly before you like to freeze the ice cream, peel, pit, and cube the peaches. Puree them in a food processor until the texture is smooth. Add the remaining sugar (60g) to the puree, and let stand until the sugar dissolves.
- Stir the peach puree and the vanilla extract into the custard base.
- Turn on the ice cream maker and pour the custard into the already running ice cream maker. Having it running before you pour in the custard will prevent the mixture from freezing and sticking to the bowl.
- Freeze according to your ice cream maker's instructions.
- Scoop the ice cream into a big container, cover it up, and place it in the freezer for 1-2h before serving. This will help firm up the ice cream and allow the flavors to blend together.
