Ingredients You’ll Need

2 cups fresh peaches: Sweet and juicy, these are the star of the show. Make sure to use ripe peaches for the best flavor. If peaches aren’t in season, apricots make a delightful substitute.
3 tbsp lemon juice: A splash of acidity brightens the sweetness of the peaches and helps preserve their vibrant color.
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk: This velvety ingredient adds sweetness and a creamy texture that binds everything together beautifully.
1 tsp vanilla: Enhances the overall flavor, making every scoop taste divine. You can use vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste for added sophistication.
1/2 tsp salt: A hint of salt balances the sweetness, bringing out the flavors of the other ingredients.
2 cups heavy whipping cream: Essential for that delightful, airy texture. Make sure it’s chilled for the best whipping results.

How to Make No Churn Peaches and Cream Ice Cream

Prepare the Peach Puree: Start by peeling, pitting, and slicing enough fresh peaches to make 2 cups. Toss them into a food processor and blend them with 3 tablespoons of lemon juice until you have a smooth puree.
Combine Ingredients: Pour the sweetened condensed milk (1 can), 1 teaspoon of vanilla, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt into the peach puree. Blend until everything is well combined and creamy, then set it aside.
Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat 2 cups of heavy whipping cream. Whip until stiff peaks form—this should take about 5 minutes.
Fold together: Gently fold the peach mixture into the whipped cream. Make sure there are no lumps; this will create a smooth and creamy mixture.
Layer the Peaches: For an extra peachy delight, you can prepare additional sliced peaches to layer within the ice cream.
Assemble in a Loaf Pan: In a large loaf pan, layer the ice cream mixture at the bottom, followed by peach slices, and repeat the layers until you’ve used everything.
Freeze Overnight: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and pop it into the freezer overnight or at least for 6-8 hours, until fully set.

Storing & Reheating

To keep your No Churn Peaches and Cream Ice Cream fresh, store it in an airtight container in the freezer. It will maintain its best quality for up to 3 months, but it’s sure to be enjoyed long before that! If stored in a loaf pan, cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. When you’re ready to enjoy, let it sit at room temperature for about 5–10 minutes to soften slightly for perfectly scoopable ice cream. Note that texture might change slightly after freezing, but a quick stir will refresh it.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Always start with chilled heavy cream—this speeds up the whipping process and ensures a better texture.
If you want an even fruitier flavor, add some peach chunks into the mixture before freezing.
Avoid over-whipping the cream as it can turn grainy; stop when you see stiff peaks.
For an adult twist, try adding a splash of bourbon or rum into the peach mixture for a fun flavor kick!
If your ice cream is too hard to scoop right from the freezer, simply let it soften for about 10 minutes before serving.
Experiment with the fruit! This recipe works beautifully with strawberries, mangos, or even a mix of tropical fruits.

The beauty of No Churn Peaches and Cream Ice Cream lies in its flexibility. It’s an invitation to explore flavors and textures while creating a sweet memory with every bite. Don’t hesitate to put your twist on it, whether it’s doubling the vanilla for extra depth or adding some crushed nuts for a crunchy surprise. This recipe is here to encourage your culinary creativity.
