A simple, no-churn ice cream recipe featuring roasted peaches folded into sweetened cream for a rich, creamy summer dessert without the need for an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar for roasting
  • 1/3 cup (65 g) granulated sugar for sweetening the cream
  • 2 cups (480 ml) cold heavy cream
  • 1 cup (300 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional but recommended)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Halve and pit 4 medium ripe peaches. Arrange them cut side up on the baking sheet. Sprinkle 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar evenly over the peach halves.
  3. Roast the peaches in the oven for 25-30 minutes until tender and caramelized, with juices bubbling. Let them cool to room temperature.
  4. Once cool, chop the peaches roughly and reserve any juices on the pan.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, pour 2 cups (480 ml) of cold heavy cream. Whip the cream on medium-high speed with an electric mixer until soft peaks form (about 3-4 minutes).
  6. In another bowl, mix 1 cup (300 g) sweetened condensed milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
  7. Fold the condensed milk mixture into the whipped cream gently until just combined.
  8. Gently fold in the roasted peaches and their juices, distributing peach chunks evenly without breaking them down too much.
  9. Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top, cover, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.

Notes

Make sure the heavy cream is very cold before whipping. Chill your mixing bowl and beaters for best results. Do not overwhip the cream to avoid grainy texture. Let ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving for a softer scoop. Roasting peaches with sugar enhances caramelization and flavor. Variations include using coconut cream for dairy-free, adding spices like cinnamon, or mixing in nuts or berries.
