This peach homemade ice cream is the perfect end-of-summer treat! It’s a no-cook recipe that you can whip up in a matter of minutes and freeze using an electric ice cream maker!
Hi, Friends! I hope you have been having the best summer! It seems like the summer is flying by! Here we are in August and the kids will be heading back to school and the next thing you know it, we’ll be heading into the fall season! And, I won’t even mention how quickly that season goes by! So, my message today is to enjoy each summer day that we have left to the fullest! And, as part of the cozy living series, hosted by Jennifer at Town and Country Living, I’m sharing one of my family’s favorite summertime treats – homemade ice cream!

Making homemade ice cream holds a bit of nostalgia for me! Growing up on a dairy farm, we didn’t want for fresh milk and ice cream was my dad’s weakness! His favorite flavor was grapenut. My mom would whip up the ice cream recipe and then dad would use the electric ice cream churn to turn that milky liquid into ice cream! I can remember sitting by the churn, watching the ice and rock salt go round and round, anxiously waiting for the machine to stop! Then, my mom would pull the large beater out of the ice cream freezer and put it into a large bowl. And, I would grab a spoon to get every last bit of ice cream that came out with the beater!
Peach Ice Cream
The homemade ice cream recipe that I’m sharing today is one that I found several years ago in Southern Living magazine. It’s one that I always pull out when peaches are in season here in Pennsylvania! And, the peaches are plentiful at the farmer’s market right now! Making your own ice cream is not difficult and there are more modern countertop ice cream freezers, if you don’t want to mess with ice and rock salt. Below, is the ice cream freezer that I use, a countertop Cuisinart ice cream maker, a freezer container to store your ice cream, and my favorite ice cream scoop!
Here’s the recipe for this easy and delicious ice cream!
Peach Homemade Ice Cream

This homemade ice cream with fresh peaches is the perfect end-of-summer treat! It's a no-cook recipe that you can whip up in a matter of minutes and freeze using an electric ice cream maker.
Ingredients
- 4 cups pealed and diced ripe peaches (about 8 peaches)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 12 oz. can evaporated milk
- 1 3.75 oz. vanilla instant pudding mix
- 1 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
- 4 cups half and half
Instructions
Combine peaches and sugar. Let stand for one hour. Process the peach mixture in a food processor until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides.
Stir together the evaporated milk and pudding mix in a large bowl. Stir in the peach puree, condensed milk, and half-and-half. Pour the mixture into the freezer container for a 4-quart hand-turned or electric ice cream freezer.
Freeze according to the freezer manufacturer instructions. Spoon into an airtight container and freeze until firm. Or, if you can’t wait, scoop some in a bowl and eat it fresh from the freezer. It will be softer, but oh so delicious!!!

You must’ve read my mind! I’ve been craving peaches so much lately!! They’re finally in season here in Illinois and they’re incredibly sweet. I’m gonna make this ice cream – either today or tomorrow. I too remember my parents making homemade ice cream when I was a kid. I never understood why salt was needed to make sweet ice cream. And I remember thinking it took forever to be done! Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
It’s the best!!! Great memories!
After Strawberry, Peach ice Cream is my favorite.

I love Peach Ice Cream. As much as I love Chocolate, I always ordered Peach at Howard Johnson’s. It seems no one sells Peach ice-cream any more. Thank You for the recipe.

Yummy! I make my own ice cream too, there’s nothing better on a hot day and I like that I can control the ingredients. Can’t wait to try your recipe.
This looks so delicious! I don’t think there’s anything more quintessential to summer than peaches. We’ve yet to make homemade ice cream this summer. It’s been on my to-do list for months. I think this just might be the recipe I make. I’m so glad you shared your recipe!
