- Gradually add whole milk to the mixture, stirring continuously until the desired consistency is achieved.
Churning
- Transfer your mixture to an ice cream maker and churn it for 20 to 30 minutes.
- In the last few minutes of churning, add any leftover peach chunks for texture.
Freezing
- Once churning is done, transfer the ice cream into a storage container and freeze for 2 to 4 hours until firm.
- If you don’t have an ice cream maker, freeze the mixture in a dish and stir every 30 minutes for 3 to 4 hours.
Notes
Make sure to choose ripe peaches for the best flavor. Chill all liquids before mixing for improved texture.
