Ingredients
peaches
4 large (pureed or chopped fine)
brown sugar
1 1/4 cups (firmly packed)
lemon juice
1 tablespoon (freshly squeezed)
milk
1 1/2 cups (whole or 2%)
eggs
3 (beaten)
whipping cream
1 1/2 cups (heavy cream)
vanilla extract
1 teaspoon (pure)
Instructions
1
Start by preparing the peaches: In a medium bowl, combine the pureed or finely chopped peaches with 1/2 cup of brown sugar and the tablespoon of lemon juice. Mix well and set aside. Cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
2
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, remaining 3/4 cup brown sugar, and the beaten eggs. Cook this mixture over low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens enough to coat the back of a metal spoon, which should take about 15 minutes. Be careful not to let it boil.
3
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the whipping cream and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is well combined.
4
Transfer the cream mixture to a bowl and chill it in the refrigerator for at least an hour, or until completely cool.
5
After chilling, gently fold the peach mixture into the cream mixture, ensuring an even distribution of fruit.
6
Process the combined mixture in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once churned, transfer to a lidded container and freeze for a few hours to firm up before serving.
