Peach Ice Cream

Posted by thecaramelcookie / 5 comments » / Dessert, Ice Cream

Growing up, I always assumed I didn’t like peaches. I’m not sure exactly why; maybe it was the fuzz? When I finally tried my first peach sometime in my teenage years, I realized what I had been missing out on and I’ve been hooked on them ever since! While I normally like eating them in their natural state, they sure do make some delicious ice cream!

This ice cream is much better than the “peach flavored” stuff you can buy at the store. The natural sweetness of the peaches cuts down on the amount of sugar need for the ice cream, making it a bit healther than your average ice cream. Enjoy this ice cream by itself, topped with chocolate sauce, or along side peach cobbler!

Fresh Peach Ice Cream

Makes about 1 1/2 pints

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups lactose free 2% milk
2 1/2 cups lite whipped topping, thawed
8 small ripe peaches, peeled and roughly chopped
1/2 cup Splenda (or sweetner of choice)
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions:

Purée peaches and lemon juice in food processor. Strain purée through sieve into a large bowl. Stir in the milk and Splenda until well blended. Fold in whipped topping. Freeze in ice cream machine according to manufacturer's directions.

This ice cream does freeze a little hard. To soften, simply heat in microwave on high for 20-30 seconds.

    Is there anything better than a fresh peach? They are my favourite fruit but they aren’t in season fro very long. This would be a great way to keep them around a little longer. Yum!

    Your ice cream has great subtle color of peach. I live in a country where peaches don’t really grow, they are flown thousands of miles and I have never seen them till I went away for school to Australia. Then I knew how peaches taste like. And I have loved them so much. Would love to try your recipe!

    Looks awesome! My only change is the splenda, I would use sugar. I don’t eat artificial sugars.
