Ingredients
Scale
Peaches and Cream Base:
- 2 cups fresh peaches
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- ¾ cup sugar
Flavoring:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping:
- ½ cup crumbled cobbler crust
Instructions
- Dice 2 cups of peaches into small, uniform chunks. Sprinkle ½ cup sugar over the peaches and allow them to macerate for 30 minutes at room temperature, releasing their natural sweetness.
- Combine 1 cup heavy cream, 1 cup whole milk, remaining ¼ cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Whisk thoroughly until the sugar completely dissolves.
- Gently fold the macerated peaches into the cream mixture, ensuring an even distribution of fruit throughout the base.
- Pour the entire mixture into an ice cream maker. Churn at 35°F for 20-25 minutes, watching the consistency transform from liquid to soft-serve texture.
- During the final 3 minutes of churning, gradually sprinkle ½ cup crumbled cobbler crust into the spinning machine to incorporate evenly.
- Transfer the freshly churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula and seal tightly.
- Allow the ice cream to firm up in the freezer at 0°F for 4-6 hours before scooping and serving.
Notes
- Macerate peaches thoroughly to release sweet juices and enhance overall flavor complexity.
- Chill cream mixture completely before churning to ensure smoother, more consistent ice cream texture.
- Use fresh, ripe summer peaches for the most intense natural sweetness and vibrant fruit flavor.
- When adding cobbler crust crumbles, fold gently to maintain some crunch and prevent over-mixing.
