A quick and easy no-churn ice cream recipe featuring fresh peaches folded into a creamy mixture of whipped cream and sweetened condensed milk, perfect for a refreshing homemade summer dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and diced
  • 2 cups (480 ml) cold heavy whipping cream
  • 1 (14 oz/396 g) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peaches by blanching them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer to ice water to peel easily. Dice into 1/2-inch pieces.
  2. Toss diced peaches with lemon juice and optional sugar, then set aside to macerate for 10–15 minutes.
  3. Whip the cold heavy cream in a chilled bowl using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3–5 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, stir together sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Gently fold one-third of the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture to lighten it, then fold in the remaining whipped cream carefully to keep it airy.
  6. Fold in the peaches with their juices gently until evenly distributed.
  7. Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container, smooth the top, cover tightly, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
  8. Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.

Notes

Use cold cream and a chilled bowl for best whipping results. Be gentle when folding to keep the mixture airy. Macerate peaches with lemon juice and sugar to enhance flavor and soften fruit. Frozen peaches can be used if fresh are unavailable; drain excess liquid before folding in. Let ice cream soften slightly before scooping. Optional mix-ins like toasted nuts or honey can be added before freezing.
