5 peaches
Blend sugar, evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, half and half and heavy cream. Add peach puree.
¾ cup white granulated sugar, 1 can evaporated milk, 1 can sweetened condensed milk, 3 cups half and half, 1 cup heavy whipping cream
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 6 hours.

Notes

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.
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.

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.

Storage Notes

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.
