Brûléed Peach Ice Cream
If you want to taste the glory of ripe summer fruit, then this is the perfect ice cream for you! This recipe is a classic custard base with peaches that are brûléed, pureed, and then folded into the custard. You can churn this custard in an ice cream machine or go for the no-churn consistency and pop it in your freezer until set. Either way, this fresh and creamy peach goodness will make it to the top of your summer sweets list.
Ingredients
Peach Ice Cream
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 1 cup sugar separated into ¾ and ¼
- 1 pinch salt
- 5 large egg yolks
- 6 peaches, pitted and halved
Instructions
- Peach Ice Cream
- If using an ice cream machine, place your bowl base into the freezer for 1 hour before starting the custard.
- Place the heavy cream, milk, and ¾ cup sugar into a medium saucepan over moderate heat and heat just until it starts to bubble and the sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks.
- Slowly, ladle small portions of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks whisking the entire time until it is all one mixture.
- Return the incorporated mixture into the saucepot and place over moderate-low heat and continuously whisk until the mixture has thickened into a custard. This should take about 4-6 minutes of constant whisking.
- The mixture should be thick enough that it coats the back of a spoon. Take the custard off the heat and reserve.
- Sprinkle the peach halves (the flesh side) with the ¼ cup sugar and place them down into a hot sauté pan over moderate heat. Cook the peaches just until the flesh side is browned and caramelized about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the peaches from the pan and puree in a food processor until smooth.
- Fold the pureed peach mixture into the reserved custard base.
- Place the peach custard into your ice cream base and proceed with your ice cream machine's directions. Or, place custard into a baking dish and place into the freezer until set.
