A simple and creamy no-churn peach ice cream that captures the fresh sweetness of ripe peaches with a delicate honey swirl for added warmth and depth. Perfect for summer treats without the need for an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium fresh peaches (about 1 pound / 450 grams), peeled and diced
  • 2 cups (480 ml) cold heavy whipping cream
  • 1 can (14 oz / 396 grams) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup (113 grams) honey, preferably mild floral variety
  • 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peaches: Peel and dice the peaches. To peel easily, score an ‘X’ on the bottom of each peach, blanch in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunge into ice water. The skin should slip right off. Puree the peaches in a food processor or blender until mostly smooth but still a bit chunky for texture. Stir in the lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Set aside to cool.
  2. Whip the cream: In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  3. Combine sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract in a separate bowl until smooth.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture, keeping as much air as possible. Then fold in the peach puree until just combined, leaving swirls of peach.
  5. Drizzle the honey over the peach ice cream mixture and gently swirl it in with a knife or skewer to create ribbons without fully mixing.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container, cover tightly, and freeze for about 6 hours or preferably overnight until firm.

Notes

If peaches are not in season, thawed frozen peach slices can be used but fresh peaches yield better flavor and texture. For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use a dairy-free condensed milk alternative. Warm honey slightly if very thick to ease swirling. Avoid overwhipping cream to prevent grainy texture. Let ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving for easier scooping.
