For a more intense peach flavor, consider roasting the peaches before pureeing them. Roasting brings out their natural sweetness and adds a subtle caramel note. If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make this recipe using the 'no-churn' method. Simply whisk the chilled custard base every 30 minutes while it freezes in the freezer to break up ice crystals.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a gentle simmer. (5 minutes)
02
Step
10 mins
Stir in the peach puree, ground ginger, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld, about 5 to 10 minutes.
03
Step
2 mins
In a separate small bowl, place the lightly beaten egg yolks. Slowly drizzle about ½ cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper them and prevent curdling. (2 minutes)
04
Step
10 mins
Pour the warmed egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a spatula, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of the spatula. Do not boil! (5-10 minutes)
05
Step
2 hrs
Strain the custard base through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean, chilled bowl. This will remove any lumps and ensure a smooth texture. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, until thoroughly chilled. (120 minutes)
06
Step
2 mins
Once the custard base is chilled, whisk in the heavy whipping cream and diced fresh peaches. (2 minutes)
07
Step
30 mins
Pour the peach mixture into the canister of your ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. (20-30 minutes)
08
Step
2 hrs
Once churned to a soft-serve consistency, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to harden before serving. (120 minutes)
