A simple, fuss-free no-churn ice cream recipe featuring roasted peaches for a rich, caramelized flavor and creamy texture without an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium fresh ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced (firm but juicy)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (to sprinkle on peaches before roasting)
  • 2 cups (480 ml) cold heavy cream
  • 1 (14-ounce) can (396 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional add-ins: chopped toasted almonds or pecans, drizzle of honey or maple syrup, cinnamon or ground ginger (a pinch)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Peel the peaches by blanching briefly in boiling water, then pit and slice into ½-inch thick wedges.
  3. Arrange peaches on the baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle evenly with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and a pinch of salt.
  4. Roast peaches in the oven for 20-25 minutes until tender and caramelized with golden brown spots, watching closely after 15 minutes to avoid burning.
  5. Remove peaches and let cool completely at room temperature or chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.
  6. In a large bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form (3-5 minutes).
  7. In a separate bowl, mix sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth.
  8. Fold roasted peaches into the condensed milk mixture. For chunky texture, chop roughly; for smooth, pulse in a blender before folding.
  9. Gently fold whipped cream into the peach and condensed milk mixture in batches, using a spatula to keep it light and airy.
  10. Transfer mixture to a freezer-safe container, smooth the top, and cover tightly.
  11. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm. Let soften at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Roasting peaches caramelizes their sugars and deepens flavor. Use ripe but firm peaches. Whip cream to stiff peaks but avoid overbeating. Fold gently to keep ice cream airy. Stir ice cream every 2 hours during freezing to prevent ice crystals. Lemon juice brightens flavor and balances sweetness. For dairy-free, substitute coconut cream and vegan condensed milk.
