Ingredients You’ll Need

2 cups fresh peaches: Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor. If fresh aren’t available, frozen peaches can work too; just thaw them beforehand.
3 tbsp lemon juice: This brightens the peach flavor and helps prevent browning. Freshly squeezed is best, but bottled works in a pinch.
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk: Acts as the sweetener; it creates our creamy base without needing an ice cream maker.
1 tsp vanilla: Pure vanilla extract enriches the flavor; avoid imitation for a richer taste.
1/2 tsp salt: Just a pinch enhances all the flavors; it’s a secret ingredient that makes a difference.
2 cups heavy whipping cream: Creates the airy, light texture we love in ice cream. Make sure it’s chilled for best results.

How to Make No Churn Peaches and Cream Ice Cream

Prep the Peaches: Begin by peeling, pitting, and slicing enough peaches to yield 2 cups. This will be the fresh fruit base for your ice cream. Transfer these luscious slices to a food processor.
Blend the Peach Puree: Add 3 tablespoons of lemon juice to the peaches in the processor. Blend until smooth and pureed, creating a vibrant peach puree that will form the heart of your ice cream.
Combine Ingredients: To the peach puree, add 1 (14 oz) can of sweetened condensed milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Blend until everything is well mixed and creamy.
Whip the Cream: In a separate, large bowl, pour in 2 cups of cold heavy whipping cream. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks—this usually takes about 5 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when it holds its shape.
Fold Everything Together: Gently fold the peach puree mixture into the whipped cream, using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream; you want to keep that light texture.
Layer with Extra Peaches (Optional): If desired, peel, pit, and slice additional peaches for layering. It adds a nice texture and flavor. Alternate layers of ice cream mixture and peach slices in a large loaf pan for a lovely presentation.
Freeze: Cover the loaf pan with plastic wrap or a lid. Freeze overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the ice cream to set perfectly.

Storing & Reheating

To enjoy your No Churn Peaches and Cream Ice Cream at its best, you can leave it out at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before scooping to soften a bit. For longer storage, keep it in the freezer in an airtight container, and it’ll stay good for up to three months. Take note, though—over time, the texture may become a bit icy. You can refresh it by letting it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

To achieve perfect whipped cream, ensure your heavy whipping cream is very cold. Chilling your mixing bowl can help with this, too!
If your peaches aren’t perfectly ripe, add a little extra sweetened condensed milk to balance the flavors.
Don’t skip the folding step. Gently doing this preserves the airy texture of the whipped cream, ensuring a light and creamy ice cream.
For a fun twist, try adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or even a few drops of almond extract for a unique flavor profile.
Want to make this ahead of time? You can prepare the ice cream several days before and store it; the flavors only get better with a little extra time.

No Churn Peaches and Cream Ice Cream is the ultimate homemade treat that brings joy with every scoop. Its sweet peach flavor pairs beautifully with the creamy texture, making it a perfect dessert for any occasion. Feel free to play around with the recipe—maybe add some crushed cookies or a drizzle of caramel for a bit of variety. Grab those peaches and get ready to enjoy a scoop (or two!) of pure bliss.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh ones?

Absolutely! If fresh peaches are out of season, frozen ones can still deliver a great flavor. Just make sure to thaw and drain any excess liquid before pureeing them.

How long does the ice cream need to freeze?

For the best texture and flavor, freeze it overnight—roughly 8 hours. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully while ensuring it’s completely set for scooping.

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

Yes! You can substitute coconut cream or cashew cream for the heavy cream and use a non-dairy sweetened condensed milk alternative. The flavor will shift slightly, but it will still be delicious!

What’s the best way to store leftovers?

Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer. Before serving, allow it to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften for easier scooping. Enjoy!
