Ingredients
To create this delicious treat, you’ll need a few simple ingredients that come together to make magic happen in your kitchen:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- A pinch of salt
- 1 cup crumbled cobbler topping (see substitution tips below)
If fresh peaches are out of season, you can substitute with frozen ones. For the cobbler topping, you can use store-bought or make your own using flour, butter, and sugar. Just like my mother used to say, “Cooking is all about improvisation and love.”
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the peaches. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced peaches, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are tender and the mixture thickens slightly. Set aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the sugar is dissolved.
- Pour the cream mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
- Once the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency, gently fold in the cooled peach mixture and the crumbled cobbler topping. This step reminds me of how my mom would let me mix the cobbler filling, allowing me to add my own flair to each batch.
- Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- When ready to serve, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. This makes scooping easier and enhances the flavors.
