A delightful homemade peach ice cream recipe that is both flavorful and easy to prepare.
Peel and chop the peaches into small pieces.
If the peaches are very ripe, peeling might not be necessary as the skin blends well.
Blend the peaches in a blender until smooth.
For a chunkier texture, blend only half the peaches and dice the rest.
In a mixing bowl, combine the peach puree, half-and-half cream, vanilla extract, sugar, and milk.
Ensure the sugar is fully dissolved for a smooth ice cream base.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
Chilling helps the mixture thicken slightly and improves the churning process.
Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
For a firmer texture, transfer the churned ice cream to a container and freeze for an additional hour.
Serve the ice cream in bowls or cones and enjoy.
Garnish with fresh peach slices or a sprig of mint for an elegant presentation.
