A quick and easy no-churn ice cream featuring fresh peaches and a caramel-like brown sugar swirl, perfect for summer gatherings and made without an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe peaches, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (preferably dark brown sugar)
  • 2 cups cold heavy cream (can substitute with coconut cream for dairy-free)
  • 1 can (14 ounces / 396 grams) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice 3 large peaches into 1/2-inch pieces. Toss with 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1/4 cup brown sugar. Let sit for 10 minutes to macerate.
  2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar with 2 tablespoons water. Stir constantly until sugar dissolves and mixture thickens slightly (3-4 minutes). Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
  3. Pour 2 cups cold heavy cream into a chilled bowl. Whip with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form (3-5 minutes).
  4. In a separate large bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Gently fold in whipped cream until smooth and creamy.
  5. Fold macerated peaches with syrup into the ice cream base gently and evenly.
  6. Pour half of the ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe container. Drizzle half of the cooled brown sugar syrup over the top. Use a knife or spatula to swirl lightly without mixing completely. Repeat with remaining ice cream and syrup to create layers.
  7. Cover container with lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
  8. Before serving, let ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.

Notes

Keep mixing bowl and beaters chilled before whipping cream for best results. Use gentle folding to maintain airiness. Cool brown sugar syrup before swirling to preserve marbled effect. Thaw and drain frozen peaches before use to avoid watery texture. Freeze overnight for best texture and flavor melding.
