Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups ripe peaches peeled and diced (about 3–4 peaches)
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
- 2 large eggs
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups half and half
- 2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon bourbon optional
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the diced peaches, sugar, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well and let rest for 20-30 minutes until juicy.
- Transfer half of the peach mixture along with the juices to a small saucepan. Simmer on medium heat for 5-7 minutes until softened and slightly thickened. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

- Keep the remaining fresh peaches in the refrigerator for folding in later.
Notes
Using ripe peaches enhances the flavor of the ice cream.
For a creamier texture, ensure the heavy cream is chilled before mixing.
Optional bourbon can add depth to the flavor if desired.
