Homemade Peach Ice Cream 🍑🍦

Ingredients:

* 4 cups (900g) ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 6 medium)
* 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
* 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
* 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
* 1/4 cup (60ml) water
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

1. **Prepare the Peaches:** In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced peaches, sugar, water, and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are very soft and have released their juices (about 10-15 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

2. **Puree the Peaches:** Once cooled, transfer the peach mixture to a blender or food processor. Puree until completely smooth. You may need to do this in batches depending on your appliance.

3. **Combine with Cream and Milk:** In a large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and whole milk. Pour the pureed peaches into the cream mixture and stir until well combined.

4. **Add Vanilla:** Stir in the vanilla extract.

5. **Churn the Ice Cream:** Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually takes 20-30 minutes.

6. **Harden (Optional):** Once churned, the ice cream will be soft-serve consistency. For a firmer texture, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the ice crystals to become smaller and the flavor to meld.

7. **Serve & Enjoy:** Scoop the peach ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy immediately! You can garnish with fresh peach slices or a sprinkle of chopped nuts if desired.
