Print Recipe

A quick and easy no-churn peach ice cream recipe that captures the fresh, summery flavor of peaches with a creamy texture and a nostalgic homemade feel.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced (or frozen peaches, thawed and drained)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 can (14 oz / 397 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peach Swirl: In a small saucepan, combine diced peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until peaches soften and the mixture thickens slightly (about 10-12 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  2. Whip the Cream: Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge for 10 minutes beforehand if possible. Pour cold heavy cream into the chilled bowl and whip on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
  3. Combine Sweetened Condensed Milk and Whipped Cream: Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream using a spatula with slow, sweeping motions to keep the mixture airy and light.
  4. Fold in Peach Swirl: Reserve about 1/3 cup of the peach mixture for swirling. Fold the rest into the cream mixture gently, keeping some streaks of peach intact for texture.
  5. Layer and Swirl: Pour half the ice cream base into your freezer-safe container. Spoon dollops of the reserved peach swirl over it. Add the remaining ice cream base on top, then use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the peach mixture through the ice cream.
  6. Freeze Overnight: Cover the container tightly and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
  7. Serve: Remove from the freezer about 10 minutes before scooping to soften slightly. Use an ice cream scoop dipped in warm water for easier serving.

Notes

Chill utensils before whipping cream to achieve soft peaks faster. Cook peach swirl low and slow to develop natural sugars and keep fruit tender. Fold whipped cream and condensed milk gently to maintain airy texture. Freeze for at least 6 hours for best scoopability. Can substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut cream and sweetened condensed coconut milk for dairy-free version.
