You don’t need an ice cream maker to make our peaches n cream ice cream recipe! Homemade Peach Ice Cream is an easy 4 ingredient recipe for no churn ice cream made with fresh juicy peaches and a hint of vanilla.
Peaches and Cream Ice Cream
I don’t know about you but I’ll never turn down a bowl of Homemade Peach Ice Cream.
Our no churn ice cream is made with ripe juicy peaches, cream, sweetened condensed milk and a hint of vanilla. Every spoonful is a taste of pure summer!
When there’s no ice cream maker involved, you can count me in on making some homemade ice cream because it doesn’t get much easier than that to make our ice cream with sweetened condensed milk.
Just whip up heavy cream, fold in the remaining ingredients and freeze. Voila!
The hardest part of this easy ice cream recipe is waiting for the peaches n cream ice cream to freeze. Ice cream may take more than 6 hours to firm up depending on your freezer.
It’s so hard to wait for that bowl of creamy deliciousness to be ready.
But, as they say, patience is a virtue. And, good things come to those who wait. Oy, so many sayings. Please just give me my bowl of ice cream with peaches! LOL
Make our no churn peach ice cream recipe and serve it at your next ice cream bar party!

When is National Ice Cream Month?
In 1984, President Reagan signed a proclamation citing July as National Ice Cream Month and the third Sunday of the month as National Ice Cream Day.
What a great guy! He acknowledged that ice cream has a reputation of being the perfect dessert and snack food and is enjoyed by over 90 percent of the nation’s population.
In his proclamation President Reagan called ice cream a nutritious and wholesome food and asked for all people of the United States to observe these events with “appropriate ceremonies and activities.”
So I'd say that making a homemade peach ice cream recipe is exactly what you should be doing to celebrate National Ice Cream Month! Agree? And you don’t even need an ice cream maker! Bonus!
Here’s a fun fact about the peach! The World’s Greatest Peach Cobbler is made at The Georgia Peach Festival every year, measuring 11 feet by 5 feet and contains 75 gallons of peaches. Now that’s a lot of cobbler!
