With just 5 ingredients and no ice cream maker required, this no-churn Peaches and Cream Ice Cream is an easy summer dessert you’ll be craving all summer long!
Say hello to the simplest, most delightful snack. This peaches and cream ice cream is summer in a bowl. It comes together easily and is just the thing you need to cool off as summer sweeps in.
There are a few bonuses here:
- The recipe requires only 5 ingredients.
- It’s a no-churn recipe.
- It’s INCREDIBLY easy to make.
5 ingredients, no ice cream maker required, and simple to make…is a better summer dessert possible?
That said, making homemade ice cream does require some preparation. First, the peaches have to be soaked with sugar and lemon juice for an hour before being heated to reduce the liquid. This will also enhance the peach flavor. What’s peaches and cream ice cream without a strong, sweet peachy flavor?
That jam needs to chill before being added to the other ingredients. THEN the ice cream needs to chill for 6 hours to harden.
So just plan ahead when making this no-churn ice cream, to give yourself plenty of time!
Ingredients
For the ingredient measurements and the entire recipe, be sure to scroll down to the bottom of the blog post where the recipe card is located.
- Peaches: Perfectly ripe summer peaches are perfect for this ice cream. You’ll need about six peeled, pitted peaches.
- Lemon juice
- Granulated sugar: Cooked with the peaches to create a sweet jam.
- Heavy cream: Whipped to give the ice cream form.
- Sweetened condensed milk: Replaces the custard mixture in traditional ice cream to give no-churn ice cream the rich, creamy texture.
Step by Step Directions
For the full recipe instructions, scroll down to the bottom of the blog post to the recipe card.
- Make the peach jam. Stir together the peaches, lemon juice, and juice in a saucepan. Heat until reduced and thickened, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until cold.
- Whip the heavy cream. Beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Slowly pour in the condensed milk. Beat until thickened.
- Add the peaches. Transfer 2 cups of the whipped cream to a separate bowl. Mix in the puree, then fold in the remaining whipped cream.
- Chill. Transfer to a freezer-safe container and chill for 6 hours.
Tips For Success
- The type of pan matters. The best pan to use for homemade ice cream is a metal loaf pan. Metal conducts the cold much better than glass. If you want to freeze the ice cream quickly, you can use a large, shallow pan.
- Can I use evaporated milk to make ice cream? No, condensed milk is a must as it has all the water removed. Evaporated milk is not the same thing.
- Can I make this with other fruit? Absolutely. In fact, I’ve already made a blackberry version. You can do it with almost any fruit, just keep the other ingredients the same.

I’m so jealous of your peach tree! We planted an apple seed that sprouted, surprisingly. So I’m trying it with a peach pit now. No signs of a seedling yet, but I’m hopeful. Enjoy the ice cream!
