Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced (about 3–4 medium peaches)
- 2 cups heavy cream, chilled
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the peaches: Peel peaches by blanching in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunge into ice water. Dice into small chunks and toss with lemon juice. Set aside.
- Whip the cream: Pour chilled heavy cream into a large mixing bowl and whip on medium-high speed with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
- Fold in condensed milk and flavorings: Gently stir in sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, ground cardamom, and a pinch of salt if using, mixing carefully to keep the whipped cream light and airy.
- Add peaches: Fold in the diced peaches evenly without crushing the fruit or deflating the mixture.
- Freeze: Transfer mixture to a freezer-safe container, smooth the top, cover tightly, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm but scoopable.
- Serve: Let ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before scooping for the best texture.
Notes
Avoid overwhipping the cream to prevent grainy texture. Use a gentle folding technique to keep the mixture light and airy. Drain extra juicy peaches before folding in to prevent icy texture. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight for best results. Let ice cream soften slightly before serving.
