How to make no-churn ice cream
The recipe for this chocolate no-churn ice cream is really simple. You start by whipping up the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
Next, combine the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla and a pinch of salt. Fold this mixture gets gently with the whipped cream.
That's it! So simple and the creamy vanilla ice cream base is ready to add the fillings and eat in 4 hours. No fancy equipment needed!
Fresh peach puree
To really enhance the peach flavor of the peaches and cream ice cream, a peach puree is added. The peach puree is really simple to make.
You start with peeled and sliced peaches and puree them in a blender or food processor with a little bit of lemon juice for some acidity. Blend this smooth and then transfer it to a small saucepan.
To deepen the peach flavor, the puree is simmered until it is reduced in half. The puree is swirled into the ice cream base along with fresh chopped peaches for all the peach goodness.
How to layer the ice cream
To make sure there is puree and diced peaches in every bite of ice cream, the components are layered. To start, the peaches are gently folded into the ice cream base.
Pour half of the ice cream base into a loaf pan (a 9x5 size works great) and then dollop half of the puree on top and gently swirl it into the ice cream with a knife.
Repeat with the rest of the ice cream and swirl the remaining puree on top. Cover it and stick it in the freezer. Now the hard part is waiting for it to freeze!
How to serve
After at least 4 hours in the freezer, you can serve the peaches and cream ice cream. It will freeze rather hard, so prior to serving it, let it sit out on the counter for 10 to 15 minutes to thaw. Then you'll scoop it just like normal churned ice cream.
Can I use frozen peaches?
If peaches are out of season, you can use frozen peaches. Thaw the peaches prior to using them in the recipe.
For the peach puree, use 1 ½ cups to 2 cups of thawed peaches. Start with 1 cup of peach puree before reducing it to ½ cup.
For the diced peaches, use about 1 cup of thawed peaches and dice them into ½ pieces.
How long will no-churn ice cream last in the freezer?
Store the ice cream in an air-tight container. If stored properly, it can keep in the freezer for 2-3 months. No last-minute trips to the store to grab some ice cream to satisfy that craving.
