A simple and delicious no-churn ice cream featuring roasted peaches for a rich, caramelized flavor and creamy texture without the need for an ice cream machine.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium fresh ripe peaches, pitted and halved
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 can (14 ounces / 396 grams) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Wash, halve, and pit the peaches. Place them cut side up on the baking sheet.
  3. Sprinkle each peach half with granulated sugar, drizzle with honey, and lightly dust with cinnamon.
  4. Roast peaches for 20-25 minutes until tender, juices are bubbling, and edges are golden brown.
  5. Remove peaches from the oven and let them cool completely. Refrigerate to speed cooling if desired.
  6. In a large bowl, whip 2 cups of heavy cream to soft peaks using a hand or stand mixer.
  7. In another bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and fresh lemon juice.
  8. Chop about two-thirds of the cooled roasted peaches into small chunks; reserve the rest for garnish.
  9. Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture using a rubber spatula.
  10. Fold in the chopped roasted peaches evenly.
  11. Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container, smooth the top, and add the remaining peach halves or slices as a swirl on top.
  12. Freeze uncovered for 1 hour, then cover and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  13. Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches for best caramelization. Whip cream to soft peaks to keep ice cream light and creamy. Freeze uncovered initially to reduce ice crystals. Roasting peaches a day ahead deepens flavor. Variations include dairy-free substitutions and adding spices or herbs.
