- 2 ⅓ cup Heavy Cream
- 1 ¼ cup Whole Milk
- 5 Egg Yolks
- ¾ cup plus 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Chopped or Pureed Fresh Peaches
- Pour the cream and milk into a saucepan over medium heat
- Add the sugar and stir until the sugar has melted
- In separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they begin to turn pale yellow
- Slowly pour in a ladle of milk mixture into the egg yolks while continuously whisking (this prevents the eggs from scrambling)
- Once you have tempered the egg yolks, add the egg mixture back to the saucepan with the milk; turn the medium-low and stir continuously until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon, 8-10 minutes
- Stir in the vanilla extract and strain mixture through a fine mesh sieve; discard anything left in the sieve
- Pour the ice cream base into a bowl and refrigerate until cool, preferably overnight
- Set up the ice cream maker according to instructions and being churning the ice cream
- Once the ice cream base starts to resembles soft-serve, add the peach pieces and allow to mix for another 2-3 minutes
- Place the mixture into an airtight container and place in freezer until hard
This is the ice cream maker that I use!
