No-Churn Vanilla Peach Ice Cream
Posted by Chef Don King, Culinary Market Specialist
Description:
Treat yourself to a cool, creamy summer delight with this easy No-Churn Vanilla Peach Ice Cream. Made with rich heavy whipping cream, sweet condensed milk, and luscious Jake & Amos Vanilla Peach Halves, this homemade treat requires no special ice cream maker. With vibrant peach puree folded directly into the base and tender diced peaches throughout, every scoop offers a perfectly smooth texture and sweet, fruit-filled flavor.
Ingredients:
1 jar (33 oz) Jake & Amos Vanilla Peach Halves, drained
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Additional diced Vanilla Peach Halves for garnish (optional)
Directions:
- Drain the Jake & Amos Vanilla Peach Halves, reserving 2–3 peach halves for mixing into the ice cream or using as a garnish.
- Add the remaining peach halves to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
- Pour the peach puree into a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 5–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Because Jake & Amos peaches are packed in a flavorful syrup and tend to be less watery than canned peaches, only a brief reduction is needed.
- Remove from heat and allow the puree to cool completely.
- In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk and cooled peach puree until fully combined. If desired, stir in the vanilla extract.
- Dice the reserved peach halves and gently fold them into the mixture for chunks of peaches throughout the ice cream.
- Transfer to a freezer-safe container. For a peach swirl effect, drizzle a few spoonfuls of reserved peach puree over the top and lightly swirl with a knife.
- Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
