A creamy, no-churn ice cream made with roasted peaches for a deep caramelized flavor and smooth texture, perfect for summer gatherings without the need for an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium fresh peaches, halved and pitted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 can (14 oz / 396 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream, cold (or coconut cream for dairy-free option)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon or nutmeg
  • Optional: chopped toasted pecans or almonds
  • Optional: honey or maple syrup to replace sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Halve and pit the peaches, place cut side up on the baking sheet. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons granulated sugar evenly over the peach halves.
  3. Roast peaches for 20-25 minutes until soft, slightly browned, and caramelized. Watch closely near 20 minutes to avoid burning.
  4. Remove peaches from oven and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  5. Scoop peach flesh into a blender or food processor. Add vanilla extract and lemon juice. Pulse until smooth but slightly textured.
  6. In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form (3-5 minutes).
  7. In a separate bowl, stir together sweetened condensed milk and peach puree until blended.
  8. Gently fold whipped cream into peach mixture in three parts using a spatula. Add a pinch of salt.
  9. Transfer mixture to a freezer-safe container, smooth the top, cover tightly, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  10. Before serving, let ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften. Scoop and enjoy.

Notes

Do not skip cooling the roasted peaches before blending to avoid melting the cream. Use ripe but firm peaches for best roasting results. For dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use sweetened coconut condensed milk. Freeze overnight for best texture. Press parchment paper on ice cream surface before sealing to prevent ice crystals. Optional add-ins include cinnamon, nuts, or honey. If peaches are tart, add extra sugar or honey to balance flavor.
