Glorious free-stone peaches from the South! One of those fruits that we have to wait and wait for, and then pick at just the perfect point of ripeness . . . not a moment earlier or later. I’ve brought a bag of these fuzzy gems home to my parents since it is my father’s favorite fruit. Arriving at nearly midnight, my parents were waiting up for me, whereupon my dad quickly devoured two peaches right on the spot! His exact words were, “Now this is what I call a peach!” Truly, they are summer treats to say the least.
But before leaving for my trip to the Midwest, my husband, Mr. M & P (meat and potatoes) whipped up a batch of fresh peach ice cream, using what has now become our favorite recipe from David Lebovitz. We’ve tried them all, and this is hands-down, the winner!
This recipe is so unique in that there is sour cream included. I really think that is why this version is so creamy! This time we made peach sundaes with a slice of plain pound cake, a layer of peaches, topped with the ice cream. YUM-MO!
I hope you try this recipe and enjoy it . . . and please let me know what you think!

Looks simple and yummy. Mmmmmmmm.
Oh yum! I made peach ice cream last weekend but it’s not nearly as gorgeous as yours, lol! I wish I had a bowl of yours right now. It would be perfect for this heat wave!
Looks fabulous. I’ve never made ice cream, but this would be the flavor I’d make if I had an ice cream maker.
I love love love peach ice cream, looks simply scrumptious!
Peach is so good in ice cream.It gives that special flavour we all love(well most of us) And eyes can have fun too colour is amazing:)
For some reason this season’s peaches have been the best in years. Love, love, love peaches and have been putting them in everything and I do mean everything.

Wow! Looks so good! I have not tried this from David’s book yet, I will have to use canned peaches, though I’m sure it is definitely not the same as fresh. If only we have fresh peaches grown right in our backyard!
Envy, envy..! 🙂
Have a lovely weekend!
This ice cream looks delicious, perfect for this hot weather we all are having.
The photo makes you want to grab a spoon. I like the addition of sour cream in the recipe…it must have really enhanced the flavor.
I cannot wait to try this!
One of my favorite memories growing up is my mom’s homemade peach ice cream I love the chunks of frozen peaches. I’ll have to try this recipe.

I never thought about freezing peaches…. and I freeze just about everything. This is heavenly. I made peach cake today – this ice cream is on my agenda while the peaches are real! Love the color of this.
Oh yum! and I still have fresh peaches in the garden.
Mimi
Wow. I don’t think I could eat more than a couple of spoonfuls of that. But I’d be very happy as I did!

Hi Tammy,
I can’t claim this recipe; it came from the ice cream guru, David Lepovitz. It’s a winner and turns out perfectly every time that we make it! Let me know what you think after you’ve made it, please. I’d love to share your results on my blog.
Ciao,
Roz

This looks delicious! I love this time of year when peaches are abundant and this would be a great recipe to use them in!
Dana,
This recipe is amazing. It’s not mine, but that of the famous ice cream cookbook listed in the post. We just love it.
Now that it is fall, wishing you beautiful days outside,
Roz
I would love to try this, I have never had peach ice cream.
I don’t usually leave comments but I had to as I LOVE this recipe. It’s so easy and sophisticated.
I’ve made this ice cream 4 times this summer and everyone loves it.
It’s a light, refreshing end to the meal. The only change that I added was a teaspoon of almond extract which I really like but the recipe is perfect as is.
