Recipe FAQs

Can I use frozen peaches?

Of course! While we like the flavor of fresh peaches best, you can always use frozen ones if they are out of season or hard to find at your local grocery store. If you are using frozen peaches then you will want to let them thaw in the fridge before adding them to the blender. You can also use canned peaches that have been drained.

Why is my ice cream icy?

Make sure you don’t swap the amounts for the cream and milk. If your ice cream is icy then it is likely because there is not enough fat in it. The fat from the heavy cream is crucial in getting that smooth, creamy texture you are looking for.

Do I need to add eggs to my homemade ice cream?

There are a lot of homemade ice cream recipes that use eggs and a lot that don’t. Since we don’t use eggs in this recipe we don’t have to worry about using the stove at all, which takes a lot of work out of the recipe. Eggs can add a creamy texture to ice cream, but the amount of cream we use will make up for it.

How to Serve And Store Fresh Peach Ice Cream

This ice cream is great in a bowl or loaded onto a waffle cone. If you are craving some extra sweetness then try pairing your peach ice cream with some peach, apple, orblueberry cobbler! The warm spices in the cobbler pair perfectly with the sweet, fresh flavors of the ice cream.

I love how easy it is to store this ice cream. All you have to do is transfer it to an airtight container. As long as the ice cream is stored airtight, it will last for about 2 months in the freezer. When stored for long periods of time, you will need to let it thaw for a few minutes on the counter before scooping it.
