Instructions
You'll need an ice cream maker for this recipe. It should be prepared ahead of time according to the manufacturer's directions.
Make the Ice Cream Base:
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, egg yolks, brown sugar, and salt.
2 cups heavy cream, 1 cup whole milk, 5 large egg yolks, 1 cup light brown sugar, ¼ teaspoon salt
Heat over medium, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly, about 8 to 10 minutes. It should coat the back of a spoon.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Pour the custard through a fine mesh strainer into a heat-safe bowl.
Cool the custard in an ice bath for 30 to 60 minutes, then cover with plastic wrap touching the surface. Refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours until fully chilled.
Make the Peach Compote:
In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped peaches, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are soft and the mixture thickens slightly into a syrup.
Let the peaches cool completely before adding to the ice cream.
Churn the Ice Cream:
Once the custard is chilled, pour it into your prepared ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
During the last 3 to 5 minutes of churning, add the cooled brown sugar peaches.
Freeze to Set:
Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container. Freeze for 8 to 10 hours or until completely set.
Notes
The calories listed are an approximation based on the ingredients in the recipe card and a serving size of 1/2 cup of ice cream. Actual calories will vary.
This recipe makes about 4–5 cups depending on how much you cook down the peaches.
Strain the custard to remove any lumps that may have formed.
Make sure everything is completely chilled before you churn. Otherwise, the ice cream won't set.
Store leftovers in an airtight container with plastic wrap or parchment pressed on top. It's best eaten within 1 to 2 weeks.
