This Georgia Peach Ice Cream takes me right back to childhood summers. Close to the house where we used to vacation, there was an ice cream store. They had a peach flavored ice cream which tasted so peachy, it felt like a whole peach burst in your mouth. The store is long closed now and we no longer vacation there, but I had to try to come up with my own version.
This ice cream is not hard to make, but it does require overnight chilling so make sure you factor that in. You start by making a sweet custard base and chilling it in the refrigerator overnight. When you are ready to freeze, add the peaches and freeze in your ice cream maker.
To make Georgia Peach Ice Cream, you will need the following ingredients:
Whisk the eggs together with the salt and 1 cup of sugar in a large pot. When the eggs and sugar are fully combined, pour in the milk and stir. Cook slowly and stir constantly over low heat until the custard is just thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and a thermometer reads at least 160°F. Do not allow to boil.
Remove from heat immediately and transfer to a bowl which is resting on iced water. Stir gently occasionally for about 2 minutes.
Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and stir.
Press plastic food wrap onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate overnight or for several hours minimum.
30 minutes before you plan on freezing the ice cream, mash the peaches with the ¼ cup of sugar. Allow to stand for about 30 minutes.
Add the chilled custard to your ice cream maker and stir in the peaches. follow the appliance’s instructions to freeze. You may need to do this in batches. Refrigerate the remaining custard while waiting to make the second batch.
Transfer the ice cream to a freezer container. Allow ½ inch space at the top to allow for expansion. Place in the freezer for 2-4 hours or until the ice cream is firm. Repeat the process for the remaining ice cream mixture and peaches.
Serve the ice cream in bowls or glasses and enjoy!
