🍑 Homemade Peach Ice Cream 🍦 Your family deserves a sweet treat—refreshingly creamy and homemade, with love and fresh peaches! 🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️ - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1 cup white sugar - 1 pint half-and-half cream - 2 pounds fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and chopped - 1 12-ounce can evaporated milk - 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk - 2 cups whole milk (or enough to reach the fill line) 🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳 1. Start by peeling, pitting, and chopping your fresh peaches. Toss them in a bowl with the sugar, mixing well. Let this sit for about 15 minutes to allow the peaches to release their natural juices. 2. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the half-and-half cream, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well blended. 3. Add the sugary peach mixture to the milk mixture and stir thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of ingredients. 4. Pour the combined mixture into the container of your gallon ice cream maker. Then, add enough whole milk to reach the manufacturer’s fill line (usually around 2 cups). 5. Follow the instructions provided by your ice cream maker to churn and freeze the mixture to creamy perfection. 6. For quicker solidifying, consider pre-cooling your ice cream container in the freezer before adding the mixture. 🍎 Nutritional Information 🍎 Approximate values per serving (based on 12 servings): Calories: 250 🍨 Carbohydrates: 36g 🍑 Protein: 6g 🥛 Fat: 9g 🧈 💡 Tips and Tricks 💡 - For added flavor, try lightly mashing the peaches before mixing them with the sugar.
