Cooking In Season
Salad Meals to Beat the Heat
In this recipe round up, I have gathered my best and most delicious summer salad meal recipes in one post, for days when it’s too hot to cook!
A couple of days ago, I posted about making peach ice cream to my Instagram stories. Soon after, I had a record number of people message me to ask for the recipe, which was a pretty good indication that I should a) blog about it and b) make another batch.
It is really, really good. Perfectly peachy, gently creamy, a bowl of delicious. I was thrilled to have an excuse to make a second batch. Even though this peach ice cream needs no such excuses, I had not planned to make more, despite the existence in my house of teenage boys who ate most of the first batch in under 24 hours!
Thanks to my awesome social media followers, I now have a second batch just for me, hidden in the outside freezer.
Homemade ice cream is quite easy to make; the most difficult part is making the custard base, which requires about 8 minutes of attention. The rest of it basically involves putting everything into a blender and pureeing it, then pouring that into an ice cream maker. Twenty minutes later – homemade ice cream!
The secret to really really good peach ice cream is to combine the prepared peaches with half of the sugar and let it sit until the sugar draws the juices out from the fruit, creating an intensely flavoured fruit syrup. In this case, a super peachy syrup, much like my Frozen Peaches to Die For. The peaches and peach syrup are blended with the custard base and whipping cream to create the ultimate extra-peachy tasting ice cream.
This extra-peachy version of homemade peach ice cream uses an abundance of ripe fresh peaches and just enough cream to make a delicious late summer treat.

This looks so yummy!!!!!!
Shani – thank you!
This looks amazing, we’re excited to try! One thing: in the past we’ve always made ice cream using only yolks; is there a reason you’re using whole eggs instead?
Hi Ari, using yolks makes for a slightly creamier, richer base. I opt for whole eggs because the result is almost as good, while being less fussy and less eggy-tasting. if you would like to use yolks instead, substitute 3 yolks for each whole egg (6 yolks total for this recipe)
I hope you love it!
I followed the recipe and put the peaches and cream in the blender at the same time. The cream turned into butter before the peaches were pureed.
I recommend to puree the peaches first, then add the cream.
