Making Peach Ice Cream is a delightful process. Follow these steps for a scrumptious result:

1. Prepare the Peaches: Slice the peeled and pitted peaches into small chunks.
2. Mix with Sugar: In a bowl, combine the peach chunks with ½ cup of granulated sugar and lemon juice. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to release the juices.
3. Blend the Mixture: Transfer the peach mixture to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, leaving some small chunks for texture if desired.
4. Combine Cream and Milk: In a large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, the remaining ½ cup of granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the sugar is dissolved.
5. Add Peach Puree: Fold the blended peach mixture into the cream mixture until well combined.
6. Chill the Base: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor.
7. Churn the Ice Cream: Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually around 20-30 minutes.
8. Transfer to Container: Once the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency, transfer it to an airtight container.
9. Freeze: Freeze the ice cream for at least 2 hours or until firm.
10. Serve and Enjoy: Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy the refreshing taste of homemade peach ice cream!
