Peach Ice Cream Recipe

Ingredients

• 5 cups ripe peaches, peeled and chopped
• 6 eggs, lightly beaten, at room temperature
• 2-1/2 cups sugar
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• dash of salt
• 4 cups whole milk
• 3 cups heavy cream (whipping cream)
  

Preparation Method

• In a blender, purée 3 cups of the peaches.


• Mash the remaining 3 cups of chopped peaches with a potato masher. Set aside.


•  In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, flour, vanilla and salt until well blended. Set aside.


• In a large, heavy saucepan over low heat, heat the milk and cream, just until it begins to steam.


• Pour a little of the heated mixture into the egg and sugar mixture, and stir.


• Then pour the bowl of egg/sugar/milk mixture back into the heavy saucepan.


• Continue to cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is thick and smooth.


• Remove from heat, and refrigerate the mixture for several hours or until well chilled.


• Add the puréed peaches to the chilled mixture, stir well, and pour into a 5-quart ice cream freezer can.


•  Turn on the ice cream freezer or crank it by hand for 5 minutes.


•  Then, carefully remove the top of the can and the dasher, and add the reserved 2 cups of mashed peaches, mixing them in with a long spoon.


• Put the dasher back in and the top back on, and continue freezing according to the manufacturer's directions.


• Allow ice cream to ripen for at least an hour. Makes about 3-1/2 quarts.
