Peach Cobbler Ice Cream

Print Recipe

The perfect fusion of creamy ice cream and the warm, spiced flavors of peach cobbler. A summer dessert that’s both cool and comforting!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe peaches, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers (for the cobbler topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peaches: In a medium saucepan, combine diced peaches, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the peaches soften and release their juices (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Thicken the mixture (optional): If you prefer a thicker consistency for the ice cream, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with a bit of cold water, then stir it into the peach mixture. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, until it thickens.
  3. Cool the peach mixture: Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, blend the mixture slightly with an immersion blender or regular blender, leaving a few peach chunks for texture.
  4. Prepare the ice cream base: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until combined.
  5. Combine peach and cream: Add the cooled peach mixture to the cream mixture, stirring gently until fully incorporated.
  6. Chill the ice cream mixture: Pour the mixture into an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to chill.
  7. Churn the ice cream: Once chilled, pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (about 20-25 minutes).
  8. Add graham cracker topping: After churning, gently fold in the crushed graham crackers to give it that cobbler-inspired crunch.
  9. Freeze until firm: Transfer the ice cream to a container and freeze for 2-4 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
  10. Serve and enjoy! Scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy the peachy, cobbler goodness!

Notes

  • The cornstarch step is optional but will help thicken the peach mixture for a richer texture in the ice cream.
  • Make sure to blend the peaches slightly but leave some chunks for a nice texture in the ice cream.
  • For an extra touch, you can sprinkle some more crushed graham crackers on top when serving.
