  2. Blend or mash peaches to your desired consistency (smooth or chunky).

2. Make the Custard Base

  2. In another bowl, whisk egg yolks with ½ cup sugar until pale and thick.
  3. Slowly pour warm milk into the egg mixture, whisking continuously.
  4. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens (about 5 minutes). Do not let it boil.
  5. Remove from heat, add vanilla extract and salt, then let it cool.

3. Combine and Chill

  1. Mix the peach puree into the custard base.
  2. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (or overnight for best results).

4. Churn the Ice Cream

  1. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually 20-30 minutes).
  2. Transfer to a lidded container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.

Notes & Tips

✅ Use Ripe Peaches – The sweeter and riper your peaches, the better the flavor!
✅ Chill Ingredients – Ensure the custard base is fully chilled before churning for a creamier texture.
✅ No-Churn Option – Skip the eggs and blend sweetened condensed milk (1 can) with whipped cream and mashed peaches. Freeze in a loaf pan.
✅ Chunky or Smooth? – Blend the peaches completely for a smooth texture or leave small chunks for added bite.
✅ Boost Flavor – Add a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of bourbon for depth.
