Ingredients for No-Churn Peach Ice Cream
- 2 cups ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and chopped (about 3 medium peaches)

- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
How to Make No-Churn Peach Ice Cream
Step 1: Prep the Peaches
- In a medium bowl, combine chopped peaches, lemon juice, and granulated sugar. Toss to coat and let sit for 15 minutes to macerate.
- Use a fork or potato masher to mash the peaches until slightly chunky (for a rustic texture) or blend until smooth for a silkier ice cream.
Step 2: Whip the Cream
- In a large mixing bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Do not overwhip.
Step 3: Combine Ingredients
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture using a spatula until combined and fluffy.
- Fold in the mashed peaches, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
Step 4: Freeze the Ice Cream
- Pour the No-Churn Peach Ice Cream base into a 9x5-inch loaf pan or freezer-safe container.
- Smooth the top with a spatula, cover with plastic wrap or a tight-fitting lid.
- Freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight, until firm.
Notes for No-Churn Peach Ice Cream Success
- Make sure your heavy cream is very cold for the best whipped volume.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, puree the peaches completely before adding (see no-churn ice cream tips from Serious Eats).
- Adjust sugar based on the sweetness of your peaches; taste before freezing.

Frequently Asked Questions about No-Churn Peach Ice Cream
- Can I use canned or frozen peaches?
- Yes! Thaw and drain frozen peaches, or use canned peaches in juice (not syrup), then chop before using.

- Peeling is recommended for the smoothest texture, but you can leave the skins on for a bit of color and fiber.
- How long does the ice cream take to freeze?
- Freeze for at least 6 hours, but overnight is best for a firm, scoopable consistency.
