Preparation

Step 1

1. Place the peach slices in a food processor (a blender would work fine as well) and run until finely chopped. Put the peaches, heavy cream, half and half, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl and stir to combine. Cover and let "age" overnight to let the flavors meld.


2. Put the entire mixture into an ice cream freezer/maker and freeze according to manufacturer’s instructions. If the ice cream has not yet reached your desired consistency, transfer it to a sealed container and put in the freezer until fully frozen. Mine did not need additional freezing, but all ice cream freezers are different. Freeze any leftovers.

NOTE: Some extra chunks of peaches can be added to ice cream maker near the end of the churning process.

Add perfectly ripe fruits and berries to your ice cream base: sprinkle fruit with sugar and crush it with a potato masher before mixing it in. This adds much more flavor than just adding plain chunks of fruit stirred into the mix.

Homemade Ice Cream using raw eggs....

I know that it is a long standing tried and true way to make homemade ice cream.... and WOW is it good! I have always made ice cream using cream, milk and sweetened condensed milk.... but I decided to try a new recipe that uses raw eggs. The difference is remarkable! It froze in no time at all (compared to the other recipe), and was so creamy and delicious. By far our favorite recipe.
