Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large fresh peaches (about 1 1/2 pounds), peeled, pitted, and roughly chopped
  • 2 cups (480 ml) cold heavy cream
  • 1 can (14 oz / 397 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon or ginger
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon bourbon or peach liqueur
  • Optional: A drop of almond extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peaches: Peel and pit the peaches, then roughly chop them. Place half in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth (about 30 seconds). Set aside.
  2. Make the brown sugar swirl: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar and 1/4 cup (60 ml) water. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then let it simmer gently for 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly to a syrupy consistency. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
  3. Whip the cream: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the cold heavy cream to soft peaks (about 3-4 minutes). It should hold shape but still be soft and billowy.
  4. Combine the base: In another bowl, whisk the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Gently fold in the peach puree and the remaining chopped peach chunks, mixing just enough to distribute evenly.
  5. Fold whipped cream and base: Carefully fold the whipped cream into the peach mixture in thirds, preserving the airiness. The mixture should be light and creamy with visible peach bits.
  6. Assemble and swirl: Pour half of the ice cream mixture into the freezer-safe container. Drizzle half of the cooled brown sugar syrup over it. Use a butter knife or skewer to gently swirl the syrup through the ice cream, creating marbled patterns. Repeat with the remaining ice cream and syrup, swirling again.
  7. Freeze: Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4-6 hours or overnight until firm.
  8. Serve: Before scooping, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.

Notes

Do not overwhip the cream to avoid grainy texture or butter formation. Swirl the brown sugar syrup gently to maintain distinct ribbons. Use ripe peaches for best flavor and texture. Press parchment paper on the ice cream surface before sealing to prevent freezer burn. For vegan adaptation, replace heavy cream with coconut cream and sweetened condensed milk with sweetened condensed coconut milk; use coconut sugar for the swirl.
