I rephotographed an old favorite after making it again last week – homemade peach ice cream. It’s one of the best summertime treats and I couldn’t resist bringing your attention to it once again.
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 friends, Jenny Steffens, in Concord, Massachusetts last year and having it at Bedford Farms, I was really craving it!
Feel free to garnish with cinnamon or brown sugar. For a unique twist, replace sugar in the recipe with brown sugar.
I like my ice cream a little lighter, which is why this recipe doesn’t use eggs, but if you like a really rich ice cream, swap 2 cups of the half and half for heavy cream!

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?
MTIA.
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!
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!
