Courses: Dessert
Serves: 16 people

Recipe Ingredients

2 lbs 908g / 32ozRipe peaches
1 tablespoon 15mlLemon juice
3/4 cup 148g / 5.2ozSugar
1 cup 237mlMilk
3 cups 711mlHeavy cream
1 tablespoon 15mlPure vanilla extract
4 tablespoons 60mlEgg yolks (large)

Recipe Instructions

Peel, pit and slice peaches, reserving peels and pits. Combine the peach slices, lemon juice and 1/4 cup sugar, then set aside.

In a saucepan, combine the milk, cream, remaining sugar, vanilla and peach peels and pits; cook, stirring, over medium heat for 10 minutes. Do not boil. Remove from heat.

Place yolks in a bowl and, whisking constantly, pour in 1 cup of the hot-milk mixture; continue whisking until smooth.

Slowly pour the egg mixture back into the hot-milk mixture in the saucepan, whisking constantly until smooth. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture constantly until it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon (6 to 8 minutes). The mixture should never boil.

Cool to room temperature and then strain into a bowl.

Puree the reserved peaches in a food processor until smooth. Stir into the milk mixture and freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

This recipe yields about 2 quarts to serve 16.
