A simple and indulgent no-churn peach ice cream featuring fresh peaches, honey, and a sprinkle of sea salt for a perfect balance of sweet and salty flavors. No ice cream maker needed, perfect for summer treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium fresh peaches, ripe but firm (or frozen sliced peaches, thawed)
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup (300 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 3 tablespoons honey (preferably local wildflower honey)
  • ½ teaspoon flaky sea salt (Maldon or similar)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peaches (10 minutes): Peel peaches by blanching in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer to ice water. Peel skins off and chop peaches into ¼ inch (6 mm) chunks. Toss with lemon juice.
  2. Mix the peach base (5 minutes): Combine chopped peaches with honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt (reserve most salt for later). Let sit for 5 minutes.
  3. Whip the cream (5-7 minutes): Whip heavy cream in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form using an electric mixer or hand whisk.
  4. Fold condensed milk into cream (2 minutes): Gently fold sweetened condensed milk into whipped cream, keeping mixture airy.
  5. Combine peach mixture and cream (3 minutes): Fold peach mixture into whipped cream and condensed milk blend until just combined, leaving visible peach chunks.
  6. Freeze (at least 6 hours): Transfer mixture to a freezer-safe container, sprinkle remaining sea salt on top, cover tightly, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  7. Serving notes: Let ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before scooping to soften slightly.

Notes

Whip cream to soft peaks to avoid grainy texture. Use ripe but firm peaches to prevent watery ice cream. Patience is key for freezing; do not rush. Fold ingredients gently to keep texture light and airy. Sea salt enhances sweetness and flavor depth. Let ice cream soften before scooping for best texture.
