Our family goes crazy for fresh peaches in the summer…we first get the delicious imports from Georgia, next the local crop, and by the end of the summer, we enjoy the juicy Michigan varieties. I freeze as many as I can with some Fruit Fresh and sugar…and use them all winter for pies and crisps. I still had a a couple bags in the freezer and the unseasonable heat made ice cream an obvious destination for some of our favorite fruit.
This creamy ice cream had a slight tang from the sour cream, but it worked perfectly with the sweet, summer peaches. Next time, I may use David’s method of cooking the peaches first to intensify the peach flavor.
Peach Ice Cream…adapted from The Perfect Scoop
1 1/2 pounds frozen peaches, drained of all but about 1/4 cup of the juices
3/4-1/2 cup sugar depending if your peaches have added sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
A squeeze of fresh lemon juice
Puree all ingredients in food processor. The mixture can contain small pieces of peaches. Pour into a container and refrigerate till cold or overnight.
Process as directed by your ice cream maker. Freeze in covered container till firm.

OMG, Lizzy! I just posted the same thing! Are we kindred spirits, or what?!? LOL! xoxo
Sounds so refreshing, interesting to find sour cream in the recipe haven’t tried that before bet it makes a perfect creamy balance.
So perfect for the summer – love the idea of cooking them first.
That ice cream looks so creamy and delicious.. It’s cold here but I would love to have it
I really need to invest in an ice cream maker. Sigh.
sounds so good!
My daughter has just discovered ice cream! Homemade and with fresh fruits is better for babies… your recipe is perfect for us!!
Such an easy recipe for a delicious ice cream! I bet the sweetness of the peaches was even better with the hint of lemon and sour cream! Yum! Saved (my folder is getting bigger)!!!
I wish our peach season was longer. Your ice cream looks wonderful!
Nothing beats homemade ice cream. This recipe sounds perfect for summer. I think this would go perfectly for when we grill peaches rather than using plain ol’ vanilla ice cream. Yummy!
i like all ingredients. and the ice cream looks wonderful! thanks for the recipe!
have a nice day,
Lucy,
This sounds fabulous Lizzy! I love fresh peaches for summer…this recipe is definitely on my list of things to try! I especially love that no ice creamer maker is needed!

Homemade peach ice cream holds so many memories for me. It’s one of my favorites!
I really want to make this!! I’ve had peach milkshakes this summer but no peach ice cream yet!
Wow. Nothing better than home made ice cream for summer!!! You have done a great job sharing this simple and amazing recipe. Thanks.
First time on your blog and absolutely love it.
Yay for ice cream! This peach flavor sounds juicy and delicious!
I spent a good part of summers as a child with my grandparents in Arkansas and the highlight was the arrival of the first local peaches. For my grandfather, finding the best is an annual crusade. So, peaches always remind me of those wonderful summers. I love anything peach and I love sour cream. This recipe sounds perfect!
The very very good news is that I JUST bought an ice cream maker!! Whoo hoo! I bookmarked this – I can’t wait to try!
This looks and sounds delicious. His recipes are nearly fool proof and your version is just gorgeous to look at. I hope you have a great day. Blessings…Mary
this ice-cream looks so creamy. I don’t love ice-cream but I want a scoop! Wow
I love peaches too but I haven’t had any great ones yet. Your ice cream sounds heavenly!
Peach ice cream is my all time favorite;-)
I bought The Perfect Scoop and to date have not made one single recipe from it, I think you’ve just shared the one I want to try this Summer, thanks Lizzy;-)
So smooth and creamy! Love DLs recipes.
I’ve never had peach ice cream and I make ice cream all the time!! Thanks, Liz, for the inspiration… I can’t wait to get on this. I am going to leave a few bigger chunks of peaches in there… I think I will love that!
I have been meaning to make peach ice cream but have been procrastinating. I should do it soon while peaches are still in season. Sour cream is an interesting addition to ice cream.
wow…I love your recipes dear…always doable n awesome..:)
Tasty Appetite
Your ice cream is adorable, Liz!! I will definitely give this lovely recipe a try
Peach ice cream sounds so yummy! I love your photo, three scoops of ice cream are a perfect serving size
I wish I had an ice cream maker!
The Perfect Scoop is my go-to book for making ice cream. Your scoops look so perfect. I may need to show restraint and put my ice cream in the freezer to harden a bit after making it.
Peach is my all-time favorite ice cream. Yours looks so creamy and I love the idea of the sour cream with a slight tang. Thanks for sharing.
Looks great – I love the idea of sour cream! I make an ice-cream where you steep the pits and peels in custard then make the ice-cream and add peaches.
This looks delicious. So excited to get my ice creamer maker this week and try this out.
Peach ice cream sounds very refreshing and delicious!
I just had peach ice cream for the first time on Saturday… fell in love! Your version looks amazing Liz!
Such an easy and perfect way to make creamy and yummy ice cream. Love the peach ice cream, you made it look so easy…no ice cream machine…wow, that is really easy, just with the food processor,and pop it in the freezer!
Thanks for sharing this great recipe, Lizzy!

Lizzy I love peaches and your Ice cream look wonderful!!!nice recipe, gloria
Oh my gosh, that looks so good!!!
Peaches can be a real hit or a miss here. I really hope that I can find some good ones becasue I would love to try your ice cream.
Man this is the perfect summer treat!
I can’t wait until peaches are in season here, I love them! I’ve made peach ice cream once (using a different recipe) and it was a huge hit so I am looking forward to trying this one and comparing it.
This looks amazing! Peach ice cream on a hot summer days seems like heaven. I love the recipe. I just bought and ice cream maker and I have to try this out when I get some more peaches. Great Job! : )
I just had an “aha” moment while reading this post Lizzy. All of our children are adults now and I’ve stopped putting away fruits and veggies thinking there was no need. However, the Mr. and I are still eating and loving fruits and veggies more than ever. Sometimes you can’t see the forest for the trees. If you can put away peaches for later on and use some for this super yummy ice cream, so can I. Thanks for the inspiration.
