Instructions

4 - Turn the ice cream maker on and let it work it's magic. When the churning stops, remove the container.
5 - If the ice cream is solid enough, it can be eaten right away. If it needs to freeze longer, put it in a plastic container and process in the freezer for a few hours until solid.
What are Freestone Peaches?
Every summer, I'm chomping at the bit until the freestone peaches make their way up the mountain from South Carolina to our farmer's market. In my opinion, there's nothing like a freestone peach. They're sweeter, juicier, and just plain yummier.
Freestones are easy to eat and slice because they break away from the pit without any fuss. In contrast, a clingstone hangs on to the pit which makes it harder to work with if you're peeling lots of fruit.
You can find freestones throughout the states, but they're most popular in South Carolina and Georgia. In fact, you'll often see some produce marketed as 'Georgia Peaches' in the grocery stores. Always ask before you buy if you are looking specifically for freestones.
Recipe FAQS
Yes, frozen peaches may be used and work well in this recipe. Canned peaches fall apart faster when churned, but can also be used in a pinch.
Place peaches in a bowl of boiling water for 1 minute, then add to a bowl of ice water. The peelings will basically fall off when pulled just a little.
Yes, if you don't have an electric ice cream maker, simply blend all of the ingredients with a mixer and place in a solid airtight container. Pop it in the freezer. Mix ice cream with a hand mixer every 30 minutes over a 2 hour period until frozen. This prevents peaches from gravitating to the bottom. Keep frozen in an airtight container.
Any type of berry such as raspberries, strawberries, blackberries and blueberries can be used instead of peaches. Be sure to chop them into small chunks before churning. You'll need about 2 cups of berries after they've been chopped. This recipe makes a great base for all types of creations!

Super easy and very yummy. Will make this again.
Yay! So glad you liked my peach ice cream recipe! 🙂
Do you defrost frozen peaches and mash them before adding?
Yes, that would be the best method to use if the peaches are frozen. 🙂
What would happen if I omitted the pudding which is pretty much chemicals.
The pudding acts as a thickening agent. You could use a slurry of cornstarch and water if you didn't want to use the pudding. I've never tested this recipe without pudding so I can't vouch for the results. If you try it let me know what happens!
Love this peach ice cream recipe! It's our family's favorite. We look forward to making it all year.
I’m definitely going to try this. Do you think I can mix it up a day ahead and it be okay?
Absolutely! In fact, it will freeze and harden overnight which I like even better. 🙂
What size ice cream freezer do you use?
I use a 4 quart ice cream freezer, which is usually the standard size.
I replaced the peaches with bananas! It tasted like banana pudding ice cream! Yum!!
Oh, what a great idea! I'm gonna try that and add vanilla wafers! YUM!
Do you fill out the rest of the way up with whole milk? Or do all of the ingredients already fill out to the top?
The ingredients fill it to the top in my ice cream maker, but if yours doesn't, it's fine to fill it up with whole milk.
I have been a taste tester for this ice cream! Nothing tastes better in the hot summer. Delicious, and it’s fun to enjoy visiting with family and friends while it’s being cranked!
There's nothing quite like it! 🙂
Can this be made without an ice cream maker?
Hi Gloria. I've never tried it, but I'm sure it could if you know the process. It's probably as easy as mixing it up and putting it in the freezer! Let me know if you try it and how it turns out! 🙂
Sounds wonderful! Thanks for the recipe. Everything in it is a favorite. Got to make this happen!
Thanks Melanie. I would share it with you, but I ate it all! 🙂
I have peaches with me at the beach right now!
Girl! You better get to making this ice cream! It's so good!
Yum! I’m gonna try this!!
Oh good! Invite me over? 🙂
