Ingredients you’ll need for this Fresh Peach Ice Cream
There’s just 5 simple ingredients you’ll need that are probably sitting in your pantry or fridge already:
- Heavy whipping cream: This is essential for giving the ice cream its rich, creamy texture. The high fat content ensures the ice cream is smooth and creamy.
- Sweetened condensed milk: This ingredient does double duty. It sweetens the ice cream perfectly and also helps to create a soft, scoopable texture. Thanks to the condensed milk, your ice cream will be easy to serve straight from the freezer.
- Pure vanilla extract: A little bit of vanilla extract goes a long way in ice cream. It enhances all the other flavors and adds a subtle depth that makes the peach taste even more delicious. It’s a small addition that makes a big difference.
- Salt: You might not expect to find salt in an ice cream recipe, but it’s a crucial ingredient. Just a pinch of salt helps to balance the sweetness and brings out the flavors. It ensures that the ice cream isn’t overly sweet and that each bite is perfectly balanced.
- Fresh peaches: The star of the show! Fresh, ripe peaches give the ice cream its wonderful flavor and delicious texture. They bring a juicy, summery taste that makes this dessert truly special. Using fresh peaches ensures that your ice cream has the best possible flavor.
By using these ingredients, you’ll create a peach ice cream that’s creamy, flavorful, and perfectly sweet. Each component plays an important role in making the best homemade ice cream, so be sure to use quality ingredients for the best results.

How to make this No-Churn Peach Ice Cream Recipe
In a large bowl with the whisk attachment, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. For a quicker process, freeze the whisk and metal bowl for 10 minutes beforehand.
Add the condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt, then mix until well incorporated. Next, mix in the peach puree until well combined. Fold in the extra peaches, cut into small pieces, and distribute evenly throughout for chunks of fruit in every spoon.
Pour the ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe container or airtight container. Cover to prevent the formation of ice crystals; if you don’t have a lid, you can use plastic wrap. Freeze for 6-8 hours.
Tips and Tricks for making the perfect Peach Ice Cream
- When the fat in the cream is cold while beating, it helps in making it light and airy, and it holds better its shape. Therefore, to accelerate the process, you can freeze the whisk and metal bowl for 15 minutes before using them to beat the heavy cream.
- Use a potato masher or food processor to make the peach puree.
- Use full-fat, regular Condensed milk for this recipe, for a creamy and better consistency
- With Vanilla, quality goes a long way! so try using pure vanilla extract, instead of vanilla flavors
- Using ripe, juicy peaches will make a huge difference in this recipe. Not only will they help with the texture, but the flavor will be sweeter and way better
