Homemade Peach Ice Cream
One of my favorite memories as a child, was my Momma making ice cream during the summer. So, when I saw this recipe in my latest issue of Woman's Day for making ice cream without an ice cream maker, I knew I had to try it!
Start with the basic recipe for vanilla ice cream:
2 cups heavy cream
1-14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
1-1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Using an electric mixer, beat the cream, condensed milk and vanilla until thick, stiff peaks form (about 3 -5 minutes).
To add fruit:
-Puree fresh or frozen fruit in a food processer until you have 1 cup of fruit puree. Strain through a fine sieve if desired. {I used local peaches from our farmer's market, pureed in my Vitamix. No straining required!}
-Fold half of the fruit puree into the cream mixture until combined. Spoon the remaining puree over the cream mixture and fold to create swirls.
-Transfer to a loaf pan or freezer safe container. Gently tap to distribute mixture and get rid of air bubbles. Cover and freeze for at least 8 hours, and up to 2 weeks.
The kids LOVED this! I will definitely be making this again and trying different flavors!
