Print Recipe

This creamy, dreamy no-churn peach ice cream requires just three ingredients and no ice cream maker. It’s a perfect summer treat that tastes like pure sunshine.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups ripe peaches, peeled and diced (about 3 medium peaches)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional but recommended)
  • 2 cups heavy cream (also called whipping cream)
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice the peaches. Place them in a medium bowl with the sugar and lemon juice. Stir gently and let sit for 15-20 minutes at room temperature to macerate.
  2. After macerating, mash the peaches with a fork or potato masher to your desired consistency. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract (if using). Gently fold together with a rubber spatula until combined, being careful not to deflate the cream.
  5. Add the mashed peaches (including all the syrupy liquid) to the cream mixture. Fold gently until evenly distributed.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan or freezer-safe container. Smooth the top and press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface. Cover with a lid or another layer of plastic wrap.
  7. Freeze for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, until firm.
  8. Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. Scoop and serve.

Notes

For best results, chill your bowl and beaters before whipping the cream. Don’t skip the maceration step—it prevents icy chunks. Use full-fat cream and condensed milk for the creamiest texture. Fold gently to avoid deflating the cream. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent ice crystals. For a softer texture, add 1 tablespoon of bourbon or vodka to the mixture before freezing.
