Summertime, to me, is my mom’s homemade ice cream! She would sit in the driveway or poolside and watch us play while the ice cream maker churned away, throwing salt in when needed.
With Memorial Day weekend ahead and my new KitchenAid ice cream maker attachment, I couldn’t resist whipping up some peach ice cream. I’ve always enjoyed such a treat, but after visiting Concord, Massachusetts and having it at Bedford Farms, I was really craving it!
Serve this delicious homemade peach ice cream by itself or enjoy it with a yummy Apple Crisp. If you adore peaches as much as me, be sure to check out my Poached Peaches in White Wine.

I love homemade ice cream so much! In fact, I have complete FREE guide full of my favorite 25 Easy Homemade Ice Cream Recipes – many of them require no churning at all!
Peach Ice Cream Ingredients
- Peaches – Fresh peaches really add a wonderful flavor to this simple no churn ice cream. Your peaches should be ripe, of course… but you can also substitute with canned peaches. No judgement here.
- Sugar – White granulated sugar to sweetened the ice cream. For a fun twist, try brown sugar!
- Evaporated Milk – Adding evaporated milk makes this ice cream wonderfully smooth and rich.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk – Condensed milk adds sweetness to the ice cream and it also softens it to allow for easy scooping.
- Half and Half – another type of milk to help round out this delicious no churn ice cream.
- Heavy Cream –Heavy cream whips really well and will hold its shape for longer than other creams, so it’s best not to substitute this. If you are in a pinch you can use heavy whipping cream.
How To Make Homemade Peach Ice Cream
- Purée – Remove skin, pit peaches and puree in food processor.
- Combine – Blend sugar, evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, half and half and heavy cream. Add fresh peach mixture to the milk and cream mixture.
- Chill – Chill mixture in the freezer for about 15 minutes and add to chilled ice cream bowl attachment. Churn 25 minutes OR freeze until firm in the freezer, about six hours.
As with most of my ice cream recipes, churning is not required. However, you’ll get the creamiest results with an ice cream maker! Check out this Kitchenaid Ice Cream Attachment, we love it!
Variations
- For a unique twist, replace sugar in the recipe with brown sugar.
- Fold in 1/2 cup of nuts – pecans are delicious with peaches.
- Add up to one cup of crushed graham crackers for a peach cobbler effect.
Tips
- You will need to allow at least six hours for this ice cream to freeze so that it’s ready to serve if you don’t have an ice cream maker or attachment.
- I like my ice cream a little lighter, which is why this recipe doesn’t use eggs. It also means that there is no need to be heating any pans up, so your ice cream is prepped within minutes and you just need to freeze it. If you like a really rich ice cream, swap two cups of the half and half for heavy cream!
- Use very cold whipping cream for best results.
- Too much? Just pour the mixture into four miniature ceramic loaf pans (available at Michael’s for just $1). Enjoy one yourself and share the others with neighbors and friends.
Serving Suggestions
- Top with my Homemade Whipped Cream for a Sunday style treat.
- Serve on top of my Sugar Cookie Crust for a peach ice cream pie.
- Serve with Pecan Pie Cookies.
- Try this peach ice cream with my Caramel Oatmeal Cookie Bars.
How To Store
Freeze – Freeze covered in an airtight container or covered in plastic wrap up to two weeks.

Julie’s Tips
- Make sure your peaches are ripe for the sweetest flavor. You can use slightly soft/over ripe peaches, just be sure that they aren’t bruised.
- Cover with plastic wrap or place in a freezer bag and freeze up to 2 weeks. After that time ice crystals may form but it will still be edible for up to 2 or 3 months.

This was a great recipe! It reminds me of the peach ice cream my grandma would make. I both made it in the frozen chilled ice cream bowl attachment, and then put in the freezer for an additional 6-8 hours. I also put in an extra cup of diced peaches, added in the last minute of the ice cream cycle.
So glad you enjoyed it! It’s the perfect summer treat!
Love peaches! When they’re in season, I’m going to give this recipe a try. Thanks for sharing it.
Thank you! You’ll love it!
Finally, a peach ice cream recipe with no eggs and no instant pudding! Looking forward to making this.
One question:
A can of sweetened condensed milk is 14 oz *by weight* while a can of evaporated milk is 12 fl oz. You give the fresh dairy in cups, yet the canned dairy in ounces. Assume that by “8 oz” you mean 8 fl.oz. aka 1 cup?
