Ingredients
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 2 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 fresh peach (finely chopped)
For Peach Puree:
- 3-4 fresh peaches (2 cups chopped)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
Instructions
For the Vanilla Ice Cream Base:
- Pour the milk into a medium saucepan and add the granulated sugar and cornstarch. Stir well then turn the heat on to warm. Stir, until the sugar is dissolved. (Do not let
it get to a boil.) - Remove from the heat and add the salt and heavy whipping cream. Stir in the vanilla
extract. - Chill the mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator for about 4-12 hours.
For the PeachPuree:
- Meanwhile, peel and dice 3-4 fresh peaches, which should yield approximately 2 cups. Add the granulated sugar and lemon juice and stir. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour. Blend the mixture until it's nearly smooth, with a few small pieces remaining. Then, put the mixture in a container and chill it in the fridge for at least a couple of hours.
To Churn the ice cream:
- When ready to churn, freeze the vanilla ice cream base in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions, for about 25-30 minutes. After about 10
minutes or so, once it’s starting to thicken up, add the peach puree. 1-2 minutes before you stop the ice cream maker, add the finely chopped fresh peach. The
ice cream will be like a soft serve consistency. Freeze until the ice cream
reaches the desired consistency.
