Why You'll Love This Recipe
- No Eggs! This is great news for those with egg allergies!
- No pre-cooking a custard base because there are no eggs nor egg yolks!
- You can use either an electric ice cream maker or a hand churn ice cream maker!
Ingredient Notes
- Half and Half - is a blend of milk and cream. You find it next to the coffee creamers generally. If you find you've run out, check out this recipe to make a Half and Half Substitute.
- Heavy Whipping Cream - It's important to use full-fat cream rather than reduced-fat whipping cream to achieve a thick ice cream. Substituting whole milk or reduced-fat cream may cause the ice cream not to set up.
- Vanilla Extract- Pure vanilla extract is best, but you can use imitation if that's what you've got.
- Peaches - This recipe is for fresh peaches. Frozen peaches or canned peaches will result in a runny ice cream, and the flavor will definitely not be the same.
Couple Things You'll Need
How to Easily Peel the Skin Off Peaches
- Bring a small pot of water to boil.
- Place the peaches in the boiling water and boil for about 45 seconds.
- Remove the peaches from the boiling water and immediately plunge them into ice water.
- Let them sit in the ice water for about a minute.
- Rub the skins off.
Step by Step Instructions
- Slice the peaches in half, throw away the pits, and puree the peaches in a food processor, blender, or with an emulsion blender until completely smooth.
- Stir the peach puree, sugar, heavy cream, half & half, vanilla and salt together. I like to do this in a water pitcher to mix up the peach ice cream base instead of a large bowl because it makes it so easy to pour into my ice cream machine.
- This will give you about 5 cups of liquid ice cream mixture which is the amount you'll need for a 2-quart ice cream maker.
- Pour it into your ice cream maker bowl and freeze it according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Picture 8 is what mine looks like when I declare it ready to be transferred to the freezer. It is the consistency of soft serve.
- For me, the churning took about an hour. Transfer the peach ice cream to a freezer-safe container to finish freezing in the freezer.
- The amount of time until it's frozen adequately depends on the depth of the bowl you use. I usually plan for it to need to be in the freezer for 3 to 4 hours before I serve it.
- This peach ice cream tastes great in a bowl or a waffle cone!
Recipe FAQs and Expert Tips
How can I freeze this faster?
Freezing the churned ice cream in a shallow container in a deep freezer with shorten the amount of time it needs to freeze. The deeper the bowl, the longer it takes to freeze.
How long is this good for?

What kind of topping goes well on this?
Have you heard of Wet Walnuts? They are a type of candied walnuts that would be amazing on this peach ice cream!

Hi Mindee
I’ve been searching for a good ice cream recipe that doesn’t use eggs and came a cross yours and would love to try it this weekend, but I have a question. I only have an attachment for my kitchenid mixer and your instructions I think are for regular ice cream maker machine. How can I make this recipe with what I have?
Thank in advance!
Mindee
I've never used a kitchen aid ice cream maker attachment but after looking it up it looks like you would pretty much make this recipe the same way. Instead of pouring the liquid ice cream into a regular ice cream maker you'll just pour it into the base of your kitchen aid one and run it according to the manufacturers instructions.

Oh Mindee! How I'm craving a spoonful of this peach ice cream! Peach is my favorite flavor for ice cream. I have half a mind to drive down to Georgia just to get some peaches! Great tip on mixing it up in a pitcher!
