- 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

- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and beaten eggs until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Fold in the chopped peaches, heavy cream, half-and-half cream, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.

- 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.
