Use fresh peaches with vanilla and half and half to make this luscious homemade ice cream. This is incredibly easy to make.
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
- 3 medium-size fully ripe peaches, peeled, stoned and chopped (about 1-1/2 cups)
- 1/4 cup plus 2 Tablespoons sugar
- 1-1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups (1 pint) half-and-half, OR 1-1/2 cups whole milk plus 1/2 cup heavy cream
Preparation:
In a bowl using a potato masher or wooden spoon, break up the peaches with the sugar and vanilla until coarsely mashed. Stir in the half-and-half or milk and cream. Taste and add more sugar if needed.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream machine and freeze according to the manufacturer's directions. (You can also still-freeze this ice cream, though it will not be as smooth.)
When the ice ice cream is thickened and frozen, scrape it into a plastic container, cover and freeze for at least one hour. Let the ice cream soften slightly in the refrigerator before serving.
Yield: about 1 quart
