An easy, no-churn peach ice cream recipe that uses fresh peaches, heavy cream, and sweetened condensed milk to create a creamy, delicious summer treat without an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups fresh peaches, peeled and chopped (about 4 medium peaches)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 can (14 oz / 396 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and chop the peaches into small chunks. Toss with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and let sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to macerate.
  2. Chill mixing bowl and beaters. Whip the cold heavy cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form (about 5–7 minutes).
  3. In a separate large bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt if using.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture using a spatula, keeping the mixture light and airy.
  5. Fold in the macerated peaches along with their juices. For a smoother texture, pulse peaches in a blender before folding.
  6. Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or airtight container, cover tightly, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  7. Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften for easier scooping.

Notes

Chill mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream for better volume. Do not overwhip cream to avoid grainy texture. Macerate peaches to enhance sweetness and prevent icy texture. Let ice cream soften 5 minutes before scooping. For dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and sweetened condensed milk with sweetened condensed coconut milk.
