Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Mixture
- 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and chopped
- 1 cup sugar
Ice Cream Base
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
- 1/2 cup crumbled cobbler topping
Instructions
- Prepare the Peaches: In a bowl, combine the peeled and chopped fresh peaches with sugar. Allow the mixture to sit for 30 minutes to macerate and release natural juices, enhancing the peach flavor.
- Make the Ice Cream Base: In a separate bowl, blend together the heavy cream, whole milk, and vanilla extract thoroughly until smooth and well combined.
- Combine Peach and Cream Mixtures: Add the macerated peach mixture, including the juice, to the cream base. Stir well to ensure even distribution of fruit and flavor.
- Churn the Ice Cream: Pour the combined mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically about 20-30 minutes depending on your machine.
- Add Cobbler Topping: In the last few minutes of churning, incorporate the crumbled cobbler topping to add texture and mimic the traditional cobbler crust within the ice cream.
- Freeze: Transfer the churned ice cream into a container and freeze for at least 4 hours to solidify and develop its creamy texture before serving.
Notes
- Ensure peaches are ripe and sweet for the best flavor.
- If you don’t have cobbler topping, use crumbled shortbread cookies or granola as a crunchy substitute.
- You can adjust sugar quantity based on the sweetness of the peaches.
- Allow ice cream to soften slightly at room temperature before serving for easier scooping.
