    🍑 Seasonal peaches

    Summer is a wonderful time for fruit. Peaches, nectarines and berries are all in season and such a treat.

    peaches

    It's always best to local and seasonal fruit, it's at its best, tastes amazing and is usually cheaper too.

    Peach season here in the UK starts in July and ends in September, so plenty of time to enjoy this juicy fruit.

    🍑 Do you need to peel peaches?

    There's no need to peel peaches for this ice cream.

    I blend the peaches after they are cooked, so the skin isn't an issue and consequently, it will add to the nutrients and flavour.

    Less faff too.

    🍑 Cooking peaches

    Peaches are cooked gently with some sugar until soft and juicy.

    Once they are soft, they are left to cool, then blended into a gorgeous peach puree which is whipped into the base ice cream mixture.

    🍦 No ice cream maker needed

    One of the most exciting things about this creamy homemade ice cream is you don't need an ice cream maker.

    You don't even need to take it out of the freezer to whip it several times.

    Just whip the mixture together and pour it into your container and freeze.

    That's it!

    Super easy homemade vegan ice cream.

    🥛 Which type of vegan cream?

    You want a thick cream for this type of ice cream.

    plant double cream

    Look for one that can be whipped, usually a vegan double cream.

    I like Elmlea Plant Double Cream.

    It whips up nice and thick.

    🥫 Vegan condensed milk

    The secret to no-churn ice cream is condensed milk.

    vegan condensed milk

    It thickens the ice cream and makes it super creamy.

    And the good news is you can buy vegan condensed milk now, which is made with coconut milk and tastes just as good as the original dairy-based milk.

    I usually buy Carnation vegan condensed milk, which sits beside the regular condensed milk on supermarket shelves.

    There are other brands out there if you can't find this one.

    Use leftover condensed milk

    This recipe only uses half a tin of condensed milk.

    Here are some ideas for using up the rest.

    • Bounty Bars - smaller batch (half the recipe)
    • Coconut Ice - It's a little less than the recipe but will still work
    • Easy Fudge - half the recipe
    • Ice Cream - make another batch of ice cream (list of recipes below)

    🍲 Storing ice cream

    You can store homemade ice cream in a freezer-friendly tub.

    creamy no churn peach ice cream

    An old ice cream tub, Tupperware or even a glass casserole dish.

    I tend to use a loaf tin, but a container with a lid is the best choice.

    It will be at its best used between 1-2 weeks.

    Preventing freezer burn

    If you're serving ice cream the same day you make it, a lid isn't so important.

    However, if you're keeping it longer, a lid is a good idea to stop it from getting freezer burn.

    Freezer burn is what happens when food in the freezer isn't sealed properly and ice forms across the top.

    💭 Top tip

    Your freezer container doesn't have a lid? That's easy to remedy.

    You can either, slide the container carefully (being carefully not to tip it) into a large freezer bag, which can be sealed.

    Or you can cover with freezer-friendly cling film.

    👩🏻‍🍳 What you need to make this vegan no churn ice cream

    Here are the simple ingredients you need to make this peach dairy-free ice cream.

    Vegan peach ice cream with raspberry syrup
    • Peaches - stone removed but skin left on
    • Sugar - caster sugar
    • Vanilla Extract - not essence
    • Double Cream - look for a vegan cream that can be whipped
    • Condensed Milk - the vegan version is usually coconut based

    See the recipe card below for a full ingredient list and method.

    🧾 Variations

    Here are a few tweaks you can make to this ice cream.

    • Brown sugar - instead of caster sugar
    • Raspberries - mix raspberries through the ice cream with raspberry syrup for a peach melba ice cream
    • Swirled - swirl the peach puree through the cream but don't mix in for colour-swirled fruity ice cream.
    • Cheesecake - add crumbled digestive biscuits (graham crackers), and make sure they are vegan, the Molly's brand in Tesco is suitable for vegans.

      I'm presuming you're adding the vegan condensed milk in with the cream for whisking as it's not listed in the instructions? I'll look forward to make. Thanks.
