- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
INSTRUCTIONS
-
Peel, remove the pits and chop up 3 fresh peaches. Smaller pieces are easier to eat when frozen than larger pieces. (f needed place peach chunks into a food chopper & pulse until the desired consistency is reached.) Set aside.
-
In a medium bowl or using KitchenAid, whisk 1¼ cup whole milk, ⅔ cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract & apinch of salt, until the sugar is dissolved.
-
Add the 1 cup heavy cream and whisk again.
-
Carefully add the chopped fruit to the milk mixture and stir to blend completely.
-
Set up your ice cream maker and add the ice cream mix according to the manufacturer's directions.
(For my Cuisinart counter top model, I add frozen ice cream insert and stirring attachment and lid. I turn on the ice cream maker to begin it turning, then pour my ice cream mix through the hole in the lid.)
-
Allow mixture to churn until the ice cream freezes and thickens to the desired consistency
(for my Cuisinart it's about 15-20 minutes).
-
Enjoy immediately. Transfer remainder of your homemade ice cream to a freezer-safe container and store in the freezer.
Recipe Notes
NOTE: This results in a soft-serve consistency ice cream. But if you desire a more firm consistency the ice cream will freeze harder with 1-2 hours in the freezer.
Overnight freezing may make ice cream freeze even harder. In that case it's sometimes helpful to bring it from the freezer and set on the counter for a few minutes for easiest scooping.
