How To Make No-Churn Peach Ice Cream
Step 1
Peel and dice your peaches into small chunks. If you like your ice cream a little smoother, you can mash half of them with a fork or blend them lightly.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Stir in the chopped peaches.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, about 3–4 minutes. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peach mixture. Do this slowly so you don’t deflate the whipped cream.
Step 4
Pour the mixture into a 9x5-inch loaf pan or freezer-safe container. Smooth out the top, cover with foil or plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Tips & Tricks for the Best No Churn Peach Ice Cream
- Use ripe peaches! The riper, the sweeter, the better. Canned peaches are always super sweet, so that's a safe bet when making this ice cream.
- Don’t skip the whipping. This step adds air, which keeps the ice cream light and scoopable.
- Add-ins are welcome. Think crumbled graham crackers, chopped pecans, or a swirl of caramel.
- Let it sit before scooping. Pull it out of the freezer and let it rest for 5–10 minutes for easier scooping.
Storage Instructions
Keep your ice cream tightly covered in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. I recommend using a loaf pan covered in foil or a lidded freezer-safe container.
You can prep this ice cream up to 3 days in advance before serving. Just let it soften slightly before scooping.
How to Serve This Ice Cream
Honestly, this no churn peach ice cream is perfect on its own in a bowl or cone. But if you want to get a little extra:
- Sandwich it between sugar cookies for a peach ice cream sandwich.
- Scoop it on top of warm peach cobbler (so good!).
- Drizzle it with honey and sprinkle with crushed graham crackers.
- Top it with my homemade whipped cream recipe too!
Frequently Asked Questions
Nope! That’s the beauty of this recipe. The whipped cream gives it that classic creamy texture without any churning.
It needs at least 6 hours, but overnight is even better for a firm, scoopable texture.
You can try using coconut cream in place of the heavy cream and a dairy-free condensed milk substitute. Just to note, the texture may vary slightly.
