A quick and easy no-churn peach ice cream recipe that is fresh, creamy, and perfect for summer. Made with simple ingredients and ready in just 5 minutes of prep time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups peeled and diced fresh peaches (about 3 medium peaches) or thawed frozen peaches
  • 2 cups (480 ml) cold heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup (300 grams) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Optional: pinch of salt
  • Optional: sprinkle of cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice the peaches into small chunks (about ½ inch pieces). Toss them with the lemon juice to prevent browning and set aside.
  2. In a large chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream on medium-high speed with an electric mixer until soft peaks form (3 to 5 minutes).
  3. In a separate bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until well mixed.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture in batches, using a spatula to keep as much air in the mixture as possible.
  5. Fold in the diced peaches evenly, taking care not to overmix. For smoother texture, puree half the peaches before folding in.
  6. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Cover tightly and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
  8. Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes to soften slightly.

Notes

Chill the mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream for best results. Do not overwhip the cream; stop at soft peaks. Fold ingredients gently to keep the mixture airy and creamy. Use lemon juice to prevent peach browning and maintain bright color. If ice cream is too hard after freezing, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping. For dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use coconut condensed milk or homemade alternatives.
