Ingredients
- 2 ½ pounds fresh peaches – peeled, pitted and chopped
- 1 pint half-and-half cream
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups whole milk, or as needed
Instructions
- Working in batches, purée peaches with half-and-half and sugar in a blender or food processor.
- Mix peach mixture, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla in a gallon ice cream freezer container. Pour enough whole milk into the container to reach the fill line, about 2 cups.
- Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer’s instructions, about 20 minutes. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.
- If you prefer ice cream on the sweeter side, you may use up to 1 cup sugar in this recipe.
- Chilling the container first will help the ice cream harden faster.

Left out the milk, because my freezer is too small. Added some cinnamon for a peach Melba vibe, Freaking yummy!!! Lovely mouth feel.
Quick, creamy, easy and so delicious! I will probably add more peaches and more vanilla next time! And there will be a next time!
Awesome recipe! Simple and delicious tasting!
Not a creamy ice cream, but more of an ice milk. It has the texture of a Wendy’s Frosty. Also, despite using fresh, extremely ripe and sweet peaches, it lacked peach flavor.
Delicious!!! But in the interest of reducing down to 1 quart, I did modify. I used 3 ripe peaches, 1 small can evaporated milk, 1 can sweetened condensed milk, a dash of salt, 1.5 cups lactose-free half-and-half, about 1/2 teaspoon of peach extract/flavoring, 1.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and about 1 cup of sugar (eyeballing and tasting till right). This fit into my Cuisinart ice cream maker, with still about 2 cups remaining, which I will process later. Rave reviews!
Followed the recipe exactly as written. Best ice cream we have ever had! Will be making this again.
This is the best peach ice cream I’ve ever made!! All of my family loved it! I made the recipe as written except I did not have whole milk so I used what was left of my half and half. ( I had a large carton.) And finished with 2% milk. It was delicious! Also, I did use one cup of sugar.
Really easy and good. May as well make the 32 servings since it cost prohibitive otherwise. Share the extra!
I made this recipe two different times. Both times I just cut the peaches into chunks instead or pureeing them well, and I think that worked fine. The second time I added less half and half and omitted the milk because the first time I made it the ice cream had overflowed. I also added cinnamon and vanilla for more flavor. It tasted good both times!
I think this could use more peaches. I used 2 big cans of peaches and I think I would use 3 or 4 cans next time. Mine also turned out pretty icy. Good flavor though, I’d just makes some tweaks next time.
I halved the recipe for my size ice cream maker. I normally favor cooked egg custard base ice cream, but was in a hurry And tried this instead. Super quick and easy recipe. Fortunately i tried the mixture before churning. I couldn’t taste the peaches at all so i wound up adding about half pint of fresh strawberries and a bit more vanilla. Wound up being delicious, but even though peaches outweighed strawberries 4-1, it was strawberries we tasted. Looking forward to trying this with other fresh fruits.
I made it with canned peaches, just drained off the liquid and added some extra. It was super creamy!! Making a second batch. I made it for the patients in my building and they all loved it!
Made this exactly by the recipe and we ALL love it! Thanks for the great recipe!
This recipe is so awesome! It has a wonderful taste. It was so easy to make!
Added the additional 1/2 C sugar. My family likes a little sweeter Fresh Fruit Ice Cream!
I purchased peaches from farmers market & they were sweet. But the 1/2 cup of sugar is not enough. After all the work it was just ok. It needed to be sweeter!
It was easy and delicious!
Very good & Easy
Add a half cup of sugar and a few more peaches for a richer, sweeter flavor.
Very good ice cream. I did add 1 cup of sugar; am glad I did because it wouldn’t have been sweet enough with just 1/2 cup. I puréed the peaches, but I will not purée them all next time as I like bits of the fruit in the ice cream. It was as if I had put in peach flavoring. I will take one person’s advice that rated this and only purée part of the peaches before adding.
I used canned peaches for quickness sake, but would definitely use fresh ripe peaches next time. The canned peaches didn’t lend enough flavor to the ice cream. But it was still delicious!
