Peach Ice Cream – Revisited with Custard and Nectar

Posted on by

 

Yes, I know it’s getting a little late for ice cream recipes and peaches are all but gone from the farmers markets, but I just couldn’t let this one sit around until next year. My previous peach ice cream used sour cream for its base. Today’s recipe uses custard for a base but it, also, uses peach nectar for added flavor.  That peach nectar also affects the ice cream’s texture. One of my tasters said it was like a cross between sorbet and ice cream. Despite its great taste, though, you may prefer a more traditional, custard only, ice cream. Lucky for us all, Betsy has already shared her recipe for peach ice cream on her blog, Bits & Breadcrumbs. (Do take a few minutes to check out both her recipe and her blog. You won’t be disappointed.)  So, you now have 3 peach ice creams from which to choose but if you think I’m done with peaches, you’d be mistaken. Next week I’ll share a recipe for peach cobbler, with a twist.

This ice cream will have a better “mouth feel” if you fully purée the peaches.  Although you can process the peaches until merely chunky, I find it better if they are puréed until completely smooth. This recipe will make 3 quarts of ice cream. That’s quite a bit if you’ve a smaller machine like mine. The saving grace of my machine is that I purchased it on Amazon during a sale in which I received an additional freezing canister for free. That additional canister means that I can get all 3 quarts made and put away in one night. To see how it’s done, be sure to check out the Notes section below.

Now, I’m already in Michigan, where Zia and I have plans to stock her freezer with ravioli and sausage, that is if we can keep Max occupied elsewhere. So, I’ll keep the posts for today and next week on the short side. Given the sorry state of that area’s internet coverage, I hope you’ll understand if I’m not quick to respond to your comments or to leave a remark on your blogs.

Peach Ice Cream Recipe

Ingredients

  • 4 cups peeled and chopped peaches (about 3 lbs or 6 large peaches)
  • 1 cup nectar
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 4 cups milk
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • pinch of salt
  • sliced fresh peaches and toasted pecans for garnish (optional but strongly advised)

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine peaches, sugar, and nectar. Mix thoroughly.
  2. Working in batches, use a food processor or blender to fully purée the peach mixture until smooth. Refrigerate.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together egg yolks and milk until fully blended. Add the egg mixture to a heavy-bottomed pan or double boiler (my favorite). Heat over a med-high heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and a custard forms, about 20 to 25 minutes. DO NOT ALLOW TO BOIL.
  4. Once thick enough to coat the back of a wooden smooth, remove from heat and pour the custard through a fine mesh strainer into the reserved peach purée. Add the half-and-half, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt, whisking until fully combined.
  5. Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
  6. Make your ice cream using this peach custard and following your machine’s instructions. Place in freezer until frozen to your liking.
  7. When ready to serve, garnish with sliced peaches and toasted pecans. (See Variations)

Variations

This is a good ice cream recipe but it is so much better when served with sliced fresh peaches and toasted pecans. To prepare the peaches, just peel and slice a ripe peach, putting the slices in a resealable container. Sprinkle a little sugar on top, seal the container, and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, giving the fruit a chance to macerate. In the meantime, toast the pecan chips in a small frying pan over medium heat. Be attentive or they’ll burn before you know it. Add a little of both to your ice cream cup for a dessert that is just about perfect.

Notes

As I’ve mentioned, this recipe will make enough peach custard to make 3 quarts of ice cream. That is 2 quarts too many for a single machine like mine and even though I’ve got a 2nd canister, that still leaves me with one quart of custard too many. Since it takes a full 24 hours to freeze my canister, this recipe could stretch out over 2 days, at least. Here’s what I do to get around the problem.

Once the custard is chilled and ready to be put into the machine, I put it into the canister and refrigerate the excess.  When it’s ready, after about 25 minutes, I quickly dump the newly formed ice cream into a container, place it in the freezer,  and quickly refill the canister with more custard. If there’s leftover ice cream in the canister, all the better. After 25 minutes, I will not have ice cream but I will have a thicker, chilled custard.  I then pour this custard into the unused frozen canister, which I’ve kept in the freezer until now. No need to let the machine process for all the 25 minutes, 15 minutes will do. Quickly remove the ice cream, use it to fill another quart container, and place it in the freezer. I then pour the remainder of the custard into the same canister and let her rip! Surprisingly, after about 30 minutes, I’ll have another quart of ice cream ready to be frozen. And what do I do with 3 quarts of ice cream? I give 2 quarts to my tasters and keep one for me.

It’s déjà vu all over again …

Well, with today’s recipe being an ice cream, what better recipe to pull from the past than the one for pickles, Bread & Butter Pickles? These are not preserved but are kept in the refrigerator, where they will keep for weeks. You needn’t worry about that, though. These pickles will disappear long before freshness is an issue. You can read the recipe by clicking HERE.

The parting shot …

For the past 13 weeks, I’ve ended each blog entry with a photo. Well, I’ve no more roses to share but I didn’t think it right to abruptly stop the practice. So, I give you this last photo and, although this may have nothing to do with roses, it is, in its own way, every bit as memorable. With thanks to Chris.

  14. I don’t think I would mind the mixture of sorbet and ice cream texture at all! I think it would only add to the experience. It sounds so good! Last week I was able to make two different kinds of ice cream from coconut milk in my new Kitchenaid mixer. Organic strawberry and nutty coconut with toasted coconut, honey baked almonds, and chunks of belgian chocolate! I never got around to blogging them so you know what that means…I’ll just have to force myself to make (and eat) them again. Ha!

    When you talked about a fridge stuffed with ravioli and sausage, it made my stomach growl! Must be time for breakfast….

    The picture of sleeping with pets is so true. When my husband is traveling both dogs (even the big one!) are allowed to sleep with me. I end up being curled up in a ball while they take over the entire bed!

    • Hello, Betsy, and thanks for commenting. I was glad to have remembered your recipe. I was going to make another batch of this recipe but without the nectar. The more I thought about it, the more it sounded familiar and that led me back to your blog. This recipe definitely has a lot of peach flavor. The texture, though, is not a creamy one like most frozen custards. My friend was right when she sid it was more of a cross between a sorbet and ice cream. I, too, had cats and one of them insisted on sharing my pillow. I don’t know how many mornings I awoke to a face full of fur, her body pressed up next to me. That photo is so very true!

  20. I love the photo, John. So funny! Well, I loved the previous peach ice cream with the sour cream, but I do love “custard-y” ice cream, so I’ll definitely make this soon. I think our peaches are getting a little slim, but the grocery stores still have them-not quite the same as the Farmer’s Markets, but they’ll do. I know you’ll have a wonderful time with Zia. It’s wonderful that you can go and stay a bit.

    I haven’t mentioned that since my dad came out of the hospital in June he hasn’t been allowed to take any food by mouth…but his swallow reflex is improving and we are hopeful that soon he’ll be allowed at least a little soft food. I’ve been setting aside your ice cream recipes because I don’t care what season it is, ice cream is a treat! When he can eat again, I’ll be making ice cream on a continual basis! I’ll let you know!

    • Hello, Debra! My friend was right about this ice cream’s texture. It is a cross between a sorbet and a frozen custard. The peach nectar brings a lot of flavor but, also, a lot of liquid. WHen I was in Michigan, I made 6 quarts of ice cream for Zia and her friends. I made them Blueberry Swirl Cheesecake ice cream. You needn’t include the blueberry swirl nor graham cracker crumbles if your Dad is having trouble swallowing. I have to say, though, that this is the favorite ice cream recipe that I’ve served to my family and friends. It has become the standard against which all of my other ice creams are judged.
      Your poor Dad has had such a tough Summer, Debra. I hope Fall brings him enough improvement so that some normalcy returns to his life. Being able to eat some soft food would be a great place to start.

He now has a very large carrier but it is only good enough for short periods of time. I’d never leave him in there for 8 hours.

      Mom and Zia used to work together, sharing the “results.” When Mom was taken from us, Zia did it all herself but now, approaching 90, it is too much for her. About this time each year, I bring my KitchenAid mixer, a few attachments, and we get to work. It’s a great deal of fun and we laugh through most of the afternoons. I also have learned a great deal of our family history during these “sessions.” The fact that we have ravioli and sausage at the end has become secondary for me. 🙂

  45. I was waiting for your custard-based recipe. Not sure if there still will be peaches available when I’m back home in October, but I can always wait for next season. Thanks for sharing.
    By the way, I’m never patient enough to make custard in a double boiler over medium heat. I use an instant-read thermometer with a probe, and heat over high heat initially, stirring all the time, and lower the heat when getting close to the target temperature of 85C/185F. It will coat the back of the spoon then, after only a few minutes (depending on the amount of custard and the power of the stove).

    • Hello, Stefan. Thanks for commenting. I, too, used to make my custard in a thick bottomed pot — until last Christmas. I was making Zuppa Inglese and using 24 egg yolks to make my custard. Well, I had to leave the stove for a minute and came back to a curdled mess. It was Christmas Eve and I had to rush to a store to buy more eggs. Now I use a double boiler. It is much more forgiving. And I always buy extra eggs, just in case. 🙂
