Best Paula Deens Peach Ice Cream Recipes

PEACH ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Place the peaches and honey in the jar of a blender. Puree until smooth. Set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, bring the milk almost to a boil over medium heat. In a second medium saucepan, blend together the egg yolks, sugar and salt with a wooden spoon until thick and light (be careful not to make the mixture foamy). Slowly stir in half the hot milk, then transfer the mixture to the other saucepan with the remaining milk and stir until blended.
• Decrease the heat to low and cook gently, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Continue stirring the custard until thick enough to coat the back of the spoon and the mixture reaches 175 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove from the heat.
• Set a sieve over a large, clean bowl and pass the custard through the sieve. Discard any eggy solids. Add the peach puree and vanilla and stir to combine. Chill the custard completely over an ice bath made by filling a large bowl with ice cubes and water, or refrigerate it until chilled. Churn the ice cream according to the instructions for your ice-cream maker.

VANILLA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• With an electric mixer, cream eggs and sugar. Add evaporated milk, condensed milk, and vanilla. Beat well. Pour into an electric ice cream churn. Add whole milk to fill line. Insert dasher. Pack cooler 1/3 full with ice. Add a layer of rock salt. Repeat layering with ice and salt until full. Note: be careful not to overfill, spilling salt into the churn. When machine starts to labor or shut off, remove the dasher and drain water. Fill with more ice and salt. Cover with a towel and let harden. Makes about 1 gallon.
• * For fruit ice cream such as strawberry or peach: 2 cups sliced fresh fruit covered with 1 cup sugar. Add to mixture before whole milk, and mix well.
• Note: For those concerned about raw eggs, pasteurized liquid eggs may be substituted.

PEACH ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine milk and cream. Scrape seeds from vanilla bean into milk mixture; add bean to mixture. Cook over medium-low heat until mixture is very warm, about 10 minutes. Remove and discard vanilla bean.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together sugar and flour. Add egg yolks, whisking until combined. Whisking constantly, pour one-fourth of hot milk mixture into sugar mixture. Whisking constantly, add sugar mixture to remaining hot milk mixture. Cook, stirring frequently, over medium-low heat until mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat; strain mixture into a medium bowl. Stir in corn syrup. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours or up to 3 days.
• In a medium bowl, combine chopped peaches and lemon juice. Let stand for 10 minutes. Add to chilled milk mixture.
• Pour mixture into the container of an electric ice cream freezer. Freeze according to manufacturer's instructions. Garnish ice cream with peaches, if desired.

FARM-STAND PEACH ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Heat the half-and-half, cream, and vanilla bean and reserved seeds in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat just until scalded (just before the boiling point). Remove from the heat and discard the vanilla bean.
• Place the egg yolks and 1/2 cup of the sugar in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Slowly whisk about 2 cups of the half-and-half mixture into the yolks to temper the eggs. Whisk the yolk mixture back into the pan with the half-and-half mixture and cook over very low heat, whisking constantly, for 5 to 7 minutes, until thick. The custard should coat the back of a spoon and hold a line drawn with your finger.
• Whisk in the butter until melted, then remove from the heat and let cool. Transfer the custard to an airtight plastic container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Place the peaches in a large bowl and toss with the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and the salt. Let sit for at least 30 minutes, until the fruit releases its juices and the sugar is no longer grainy. Cover and refrigerate for about 1 hour.
• Pulse the peaches in a blender or food processor five or six times, until smooth but still slightly chunky. Pour the custard into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. Add the peaches for the last 5 minutes of churning. Scoop and serve.
