A creamy, no-churn peach ice cream infused with fresh basil for a unique, refreshing summer treat that requires no ice cream machine.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe peaches (about 1 ½ pounds / 700 grams), peeled and sliced
  • 10–12 fresh basil leaves, washed and roughly chopped
  • 1 can (14 oz / 396 grams) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Optional: pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peaches and basil: Peel and slice the peaches. Dip them in boiling water for about 30 seconds, then plunge into ice water to loosen the skin. Place peeled slices into a blender or food processor with chopped basil leaves and fresh lemon juice. Pulse until smooth, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Mix in condensed milk and vanilla: Transfer the peach-basil puree to a large bowl. Stir in sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Whip the heavy cream: Using an electric mixer, beat the chilled heavy cream in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form, about 4-6 minutes.
  4. Fold whipped cream into peach mixture: Gently fold one-third of the whipped cream into the peach mixture to lighten it. Then fold in the remaining cream in two additions, keeping the mixture airy.
  5. Transfer and freeze: Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container, smooth the top, cover tightly, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
  6. Serve: Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before scooping. Garnish with a basil leaf or thin peach slices if desired.

Notes

Use ripe, juicy peaches for best flavor. Chill cream and tools before whipping for better texture. Fold whipped cream gently to keep airiness. Let ice cream soften slightly before serving. For dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use dairy-free condensed milk.
