Author Notes
I read that it was National Peach Ice Cream Day. I don’t know who comes up with these things, but I’m all for peach ice cream so I went all in; made the peach ice cream, and even threw in some nice fresh cherries. It’s a really creamy recipe that freezes into a smooth almost fluffy consistency that got the seal of approval from son. —simplycooking101

Ingredients
-
2
eggs
-
1 cup
sugar
-
1/4 teaspoon
salt
-
2 1/2 cups
whipping cream
-
2 cups
half and half
-
2 1/4 teaspoons
almond extract
-
4
peaches
-
1/2 cup
cherries
Directions
-
Peel and dice the peaches and pit and chop the cherries. (A quick way to peel the peaches is to dip them into boiling water for 10 seconds, the skins will slip right off.) Please them in a bowl and kind of smash up the peaches and mix well with the cherries.
-
In a heavy saucepan, combine the eggs, sugar, salt and creams. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick enough to coat a metal spoon and reaches at least 160 degrees F.
-
Remove from the heat; add the almond extract, diced peaches and cherries, cover and refrigerate overnight or cool down by placing the saucepan in a large bowl of icewater (make sure not to get any water in the mixture) .
-
Pour the custard into an ice cream freezer and freeze according to the manufacturer’s directions.
-
If you like it soft serve when it just comes out of the freezer, but if you like it firmer, place in a sealed container in the freezer for a couple of hours.
