Peach ice cream
Last weekend, Kristen and I went peach picking, and while the peaches at our intended destination were better suited for a game of bocce ball, we happened across another place just down the road—whose name escapes me, and whose card I’ve forgotten. Regardless, they had beautiful fruit, and I picked up a couple pounds.After eating a few (dozen) it dawned on me that as summer draws to a close, and the weather has already shifted to fall, what could be more perfect than a bowl of peach ice cream? Drawing out the bible of ice cream, David Lebovitz’ The Perfect Scoop, I found a wonderful recipe of peach ice cream, but made with some sour cream. Approximately 24 hours later, this was the result:
What’s on top? A bit of molasses whipped cream. Yum! My only complaint, if one can have a complaint about peach ice cream, is that the texture is a bit crumbly. I am not sure whether it’s an artifact of the recipe, or my freezer. Regardless, given a minute to soften, it’s lovely, and the tang of the sour cream really offsets the natural sweetness of the peach.

Your peach ice cream looks great! I’ve been wanting to try making peach ice cream for awhile! Yours looks super! I may just have to give it a try!

The alternate version made with strawberries and sour cream is excellent as well. I even made a batch where I added a bit of balsamic…
