Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ½ cups white sugar or to taste
  • 6 large eggs
  • beaten
  • 10 fresh ripe peaches
  • pitted and chopped
  • 4 cups heavy cream
  • 2 cups half-and-half cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¾ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and beaten eggs until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  2. Fold in the chopped peaches, heavy cream, half-and-half cream, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
  3. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
  4. Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  5. Transfer the churned ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

Notes

  • Use ripe, fragrant peaches for the sweetest and most flavorful ice cream.
  • If using frozen peaches, thaw and drain them first. Adjust the sugar according to their sweetness.
  • Chill the ice cream base thoroughly before churning for a creamier texture.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or small pieces of toasted almonds.
  • Because this recipe uses eggs without a specified cooking step, use pasteurized eggs or a properly prepared, safely cooked egg base to reduce the risk of foodborne illness.
  • Store in an airtight freezer-safe container for the best texture. Enjoy within 2–3 weeks for optimal flavor.
