Ingredients
- 3 cups of fresh peaches peeled and chopped
- 1/4 cup of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 2 cups of heavy cream
- 1 cup of whole milk
- 3/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 6 egg yolks
- 1 pre-made pie crust baked and crumbled into small pieces
Instructions
- To start, you'll need to peel and chop 3 cups of fresh peaches. If you're not sure how to peel a peach, here's a quick tip: make an "X" on the bottom of each peach with a knife, and then place them in boiling water for about 30 seconds.
- Remove them with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool. The skins should easily peel off with your fingers after this.
- Once your peaches are peeled and chopped, toss them with 1/4 cup of sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Set them aside for now.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of heavy cream, 1 cup of whole milk, 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches a simmer.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 6 egg yolks. Slowly pour about 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs. Then, pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture.
- Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- This should take about 10-12 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl.
- Add the peach mixture to the ice cream base and stir to combine. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is completely chilled.
- Once the ice cream mixture is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. In the last few minutes of churning, add in the crumbled pie crust pieces.
