    No Churn Peach Swirl Ice Cream

    No Churn Peach Swirl Ice Cream

    This No Churn Peach Swirl Ice Cream came about because I’m an ice cream lover of the first degree.  While you can always find vanilla ice cream in my freezer for sundaes or root beer floats, I couldn’t resist adding them to plain vanilla no churn ice cream.  

    The idea for this Peach Swirl Ice Cream dawned on me when I bought Georgia Peaches to make my Peach Amaretto Jam.   I love peach ice cream but it isn’t offered as much as it was in the past.  So what could be easier than adding it to an ice cream that takes 10 minutes.  

    I originally posted this a few years ago and with peaches coming into the markets, it seem like a good idea to remind everyone again. There is a funny story attached to this recipe. One of my sons was visiting and I had this in the freezer. After dinner, he asked what was for dessert, a carry over from childhood when there was always dessert. I told him peach ice cream. His reaction was muted, definitely not excited. He told me peaches weren't his favs but he'd have a little. Well, long story short, a little turned into several more trips to the freezer as he magically turned into a peach lover - or at least a Peach Swirl Ice cream lover.

    How to Keep No Churn Ice Cream Scoopable

    The one thing that can be problematic with this type of ice cream is that when frozen it can be rock hard.  There’s a couple of things that can be done to avoid this.  

    First, if the cream is whipped to a really stiff stage, it will freeze hard.  Whip it until it is medium firm.  The softer the cream is whipped the less hard it will be when frozen.  If the cream is whipped to the soft peak stage, it will freeze like soft set ice cream.  However, I don't recommend that because it melts really, really fast out of the freezer.

    Second, the alcohol in a couple of tablespoons of liquor or liqueur will keep the ice cream scoopable.   If all else fails, and you have a rock for ice cream, just leave it out for 15 to 20 minutes and it will soften. 

    The Peach Swirl

    I have used my Peach Jam flavored with Amaretto for my swirl in my No Churn Peach Swirl Ice Creaml.  While I highly recommend this step, 1 cup of pureed peaches can also stand in.  

    If you're into ice cream, take a look at these. The individual Baked Alaska is a complete do ahead, the Magic Shell is the perfect finish to a scoop of ice cream and last but certainly one you will want to make is the Easy Hawaiian Sundae with caramelized pineapple. Last but not least is the Caramel Brickle No Churn Ice Cream.

    This No Churn Peach Swirl Ice Cream is so easy it only takes 4 ingredients. It satisfies the love of ice cream and peaches.  If using pureed fresh peaches instead of the Peach Jam, make sure they are very ripe for the best flavor.

      I make this ice cream at least once every time I can get good peaches, which here in Arizona is a very short season. I absolutely love it and so do the folks I've scooped it out for.
      After several batches following Helen's recipe exactly, I decided to play with ingredients a bit. Since I make my own peach bourbon ( I don't do the distilling, just flavor good bourbon with peaches and spices, and let it sit), I decided to try a peach bourbon swirl ice cream with chopped pecans. I added 2 T of the peach bourbon to the homemade peach jam, and added that along with chopped roasted pecan pieces. I also mixed in fresh peach pieces. Finally, I've been experimenting with less sweetened condensed milk and more cream, as I find the condensed milk to be a bit cloying. Modified or not, this remains my favorite no-churn ice cream recipe. Just took it to a dinner party this weekend and the host was very happy to keep what was left of this delicious dessert.
