A quick and easy no-churn ice cream featuring fresh peaches and toasted pecans, perfect for a creamy, refreshing summer treat without the need for an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 1 can (14 oz / 396 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (about 120 g) pecans, chopped and toasted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice about 4 medium ripe peaches. Toss them with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice in a bowl. Let them sit for 10-15 minutes to macerate and release their juices.
  2. Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add 1 cup of chopped pecans and toast, stirring frequently, for about 4-5 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from heat and let cool.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whip 2 cups (480 ml) of heavy cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
  4. Gently fold 1 can (14 oz / 396 g) of sweetened condensed milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the whipped cream using a spatula.
  5. Drain any excess juice from the peaches (reserve if desired). Fold the macerated peaches and toasted pecans into the cream mixture evenly.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top and cover tightly with a lid or plastic wrap.
  7. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
  8. Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.

Notes

For extra peach flavor, add a tablespoon or two of reserved peach juice before freezing but avoid adding too much to prevent icy texture. Toast pecans carefully to avoid burning. Soft peaks in whipped cream are key for creamy texture. Can substitute nuts or use dairy-free alternatives with texture variations.
