Peaches and Cream Ice Cream Recipe

My local peaches are so good! They are sweet and juicy and we love them. Well, we kinda have a love/hate relationship with them. You see, we just can’t get past the fuzzy outside, so we don’t eat them “raw” very often. I’ve been baking away with them and I love them pureed in this Peaches and Cream Ice Cream recipe. I wanted to make some Peach Ice Cream, but I wanted the peach to be separate from the ice cream. I was looking for a ribbony effect of the peaches and that’s just what I got when I folded in the peach puree instead of mixing it thoroughly into the ice cream.

So, I decided to make a basic Vanilla Bean Ice Cream and then add in some pureed peaches. In order to keep the two separate,  I froze the peach puree in its own bowl first then I added it to the cream base.

Ribboning achieved!

You can almost think if it as a fruit granita meets vanilla ice cream. Yes the peach has an icy texture but I kinda liked that. It was a bit different in my mouth. There was some peach to eat and savor while it melted on my tongue. If you’re a peach lover, this ice cream is perfect for you!

How to remove the peach skin

Want a quick way to remove the skin from the peach?

1. Score an X at the bottom on the peach.
2. Boil enough water to cover the peach.
3. Drop the peach into the boiling water for 1 minute.
4. Transfer the peach to a bowl of ice water and the skin should come right off.
5. If the skin sticks, simply put it back into the boiling water for another 30 seconds.
