Vanilla bean ice cream with ribbons of peach puree. This peaches and cream ice cream is a fabulous treat for a summer afternoon.
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?
- Score an X at the bottom on the peach.
- Boil enough water to cover the peach.
- Drop the peach into the boiling water for 1 minute.
- Transfer the peach to a bowl of ice water and the skin should come right off.
- If the skin sticks, simply put it back into the boiling water for another 30 seconds.

Hi. This is gooorgeous! Hopefully to make one. We have no peach in my country.. If we find one, it's 10$ each... Lol. And I'm Just curious. Do I not need to cook it even if it has eggs in it? Thank you

This ice cream base is not cooked. The cooked version is more of a custard and it's whats known as a Creme Anglais base. The freezing of the eggs will do just as good as cooking them, or you can try to find pasteurized eggs instead. Sorry you can't get peaches where you are. You can used canned peaches if you have that.

Hands down, this is one of my favorite summer ice cream flavors! It's perfect "lazy afternoon, sitting in the sun, watching the kids play in the splash pool (grandkids for me), eating ice cream" thing! Love it!
