A luscious, smooth no-churn ice cream featuring caramelized roasted peaches, perfect for a quick homemade summer treat without an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1 can (14 oz / 396 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon or nutmeg
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans or almonds

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Halve and pit peaches. Arrange cut side up on baking sheet and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
  3. Roast peaches for 20-25 minutes until soft, golden, and caramelized.
  4. Remove peaches from oven and let cool completely.
  5. Scoop peach flesh into a blender or food processor. Add lemon juice and salt. Blend until smooth but slightly textured.
  6. In a large bowl, whip chilled heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form (3-5 minutes).
  7. In a separate bowl, mix sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Add optional spices if using.
  8. Gently fold peach puree into condensed milk mixture, then fold in whipped cream until combined.
  9. Fold in optional chopped toasted nuts if desired.
  10. Pour mixture into a freezer-safe container, cover tightly, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
  11. Before serving, let ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes for easier scooping.

Notes

Do not overcrowd peaches when roasting to avoid steaming. Whip cream to soft peaks only to maintain light texture. Folding gently keeps air in the mixture for fluffiness. Use metal pan for faster freezing and reduce ice crystals by covering surface with parchment paper before sealing. For dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk and use sweetened condensed coconut milk.
