Fresh Peach Ice Cream

Source of Recipe

From "Picnic" by Dee Dee Stovel


Recipe Introduction

"Modern technology allows us to take fresh homemade ice cream to the beach with ease. The secret is having the type of ice-cream maker with a metal container filled with a supercoolant. You place the container in the freezer overnight and it becomes so cold that the ice-cream mixture freezes on contact. The metal container fits into a large cup with a churn. The entire apparatus can be stored in the freezer until packing time and then placed in the cooler for transporting to the beach."

List of Ingredients

â—¦ 2 cups half-and-half
â—¦ 1 cup milk
â—¦ 3 fresh peaches, peeled, chopped, and mashed
â—¦ ¾ cup sugar
â—¦ ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

â—¦ A freezer-cylinder type ice cream maker


Recipe

Place all of the ingredients in a large bowl and stir until well combined. Pour the mixture into the super-cold metal container and follow the manufacturer's directions for churning.

Store the ice cream in the freezer until packing time. Wrap the entire ice-cream maker in a tablecloth and put it into the picnic cooler. Ours sat in 90° F heat for three hours one day and the ice cream was still frozen when we ate it.
