Instructions

Puree the chopped peaches in a blender or food processor until smooth.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and sugar, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Once the mixture is warm (but not boiling), remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Stir in the peach puree, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt, mixing until fully combined.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (about 20-25 minutes).
Once the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency, transfer to a container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy!

Notes

For a fun twist, try adding crushed graham crackers or crumbled cookies.

Other fruits like strawberries or raspberries can be added for variation.

Chopped nuts like pecans or almonds can add a nice crunch.

For a dairy-free version, substitute the heavy cream and whole milk with coconut milk and plant-based cream.
