Peach Ice Cream
Summer means two things in the Lieb house peaches and ice cream. And the combination of the two equals the ultimate summer treat, peach ice cream.
Joe and I received an ice cream maker as a wedding gift from Joe’s parents along with his mother’s ice cream recipe. It’s more of a custard recipe but you can adapt it to make almost any flavor of ice cream. I’ve made vanilla frozen custard, chocolate chip, cherry vanilla, and many more.
Here is my favorite peach ice cream recipe… I hope you enjoy it.
Peach Ice Cream
Ingredients:
- 1 Quart Whole Milk
- 1 Quart Half & Half
- 5 Eggs
- 2 Cups Sugar
- 2 Tbs Flour
- 1/2 Pint Whipping Cream
- 1 Tsp Vanilla
- 3-4 Peaches
Instructions:
- Combine milk and half & half in a double broiler and scald
- Beat together eggs, sugar, and flour.
- Add a bit of the milk mixture to the egg mixture to temper the eggs.
- Add the egg mixture to the milk mixture
- Cook for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally
- Pour into a large bowl, cover with wax paper and cool.
- When ready to freeze add the whipping cream and vanilla to the mixture
- Pour into your ice cream maker and follow the ice cream maker’s directions. So far you’re just making vanilla ice cream, the peaches come soon.
- While your ice cream is churning fill a pot with water and bring to a boil. Add the peaches making sure they are completely covered in water and blanch them for 40 seconds. Using a slotted spoon remove the peaches and immediately place them in an ice bath and let them cool for about 1 minute. Remove from water, pat dry, and remove the skin from the peaches.
- Cut peaches into small bite-size pieces.
- When the ice cream maker is nearing the end of churning (it will sound like it’s struggling to churn) add the peaches and let churn for a few minutes.
- Remove ice cream from the maker and eat immediately or store it in an air-tight container and place in the freezer to harden.
I prefer chunks of peaches in my ice cream which is why I add them at the end, if I were to add them at the beginning the ice cream would be more peach flavored with no noticeable chunks.

I have been hooked on peach cheesecake all summer, but I think that’s about to change to peach ice cream.
Love it! Our local orchard is spilling over with peaches, and I’m always looking for new things to do with them. I’m all cobblered out!
I’ve never had peach ice cream. Seems like a great use of all these peaches!
Thanks for the recipe. I have not made homemade ice cream since I was a kid. This will be great for me to do with my boys one weekend.
I’ve not had peach ice cream before. I probably won’t because I’m allergic to peaches but my family would love it!
I love homemade ice cream! They always taste and feel like it’s so much healthier. This looks great! Can’t wait to try!
Ohh, that does sound tasty good. Peach is such a nice summer flavor.
Ice cream is a delicious treat all the time. Peaches and cream of course is an American classic.
Wow this sounds amazing! I think peaches and ice cream is the best combination in the world! I’m totally getting my ice cream maker out tonight!
I’ve never made icecream before and this looks really good. I’m a big fan of peaches so might actually give this a try. Thanks for the recipe.
Fantastic, but I think I might try to change so it’s not custard
