Easy Late Summer No-Churn Peach Ice Cream

Late summer produce never sticks around long enough — peaches, sweet corn, fluffy Boston lettuce salads, stacks of tomatoes drizzled with olive oil and scattered with fresh basil. This no-churn peach pistachio ice cream is our favorite way to hang onto peach season for a little longer, no ice cream maker required. Serve it with a plate of cookies after dinner, or just eat it straight from the container outside during golden hour. Don't be surprised if a version of this flavor shows up on our gelato menu.
Ingredients
- 1–1.5 lbs. ripe peaches, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup pistachio paste
- 1/2 cup roasted pistachios, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss the sliced peaches with the sugar and lemon juice, spread on a baking sheet, and roast for 20–25 minutes, until soft and caramelized. Let cool, then mash.
- Whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks.
- In a separate bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, almond extract, pistachio paste, and salt.
- Fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture, then gently fold in the roasted peaches and most of the pistachios, reserving a small handful for topping.
- Transfer to a freezer-safe container, scatter the reserved pistachios on top, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
