Print Recipe

A simple, no-churn ice cream recipe that captures the fresh, bright flavor of ripe peaches with a creamy texture and a subtle vanilla bean swirl. Perfect for summer treats without the need for an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 can (14 oz / 396g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 whole vanilla bean pod, split and scraped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice about 2 cups of ripe peaches. Toss them with 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1/3 cup granulated sugar. Let sit for 10-15 minutes at room temperature to macerate.
  2. Split the vanilla bean pod lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Mix the seeds with a tablespoon of the sweetened condensed milk to create the vanilla swirl base. Set aside.
  3. Pour 2 cups of cold heavy whipping cream into a chilled bowl. Whip with a hand or stand mixer until soft peaks form, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream. Then fold in the macerated peaches, including the juices. For a smoother texture, blend peaches before folding in, if desired.
  5. Pour half of the peach ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe container. Drizzle half the vanilla bean and condensed milk mixture on top. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the vanilla through the ice cream mixture. Repeat with the remaining ice cream and vanilla swirl.
  6. Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
  7. Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly for best texture.

Notes

Keep mixing bowls chilled before whipping cream for better results. Fold whipped cream gently to maintain airy texture. Use a shallow container for quicker freezing and better texture. If peaches are very juicy, drain some juice before folding to avoid icy texture. Vanilla bean paste or extract can be used as a substitute but will not provide the same visual swirl.
