A quick and easy no-churn peach ice cream featuring browned butter and cinnamon for a rich, creamy, and flavorful homemade dessert without the need for an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium fresh peaches, peeled and diced
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 can (14 ounces / 396 grams) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Brown the butter: In a small skillet over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons unsalted butter. Cook until it foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Prepare the peaches: Peel and dice about 3 medium ripe peaches. If using frozen peaches, thaw and drain excess liquid. Cook peaches in a small saucepan over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until softened and slightly syrupy. Remove from heat and let cool.
  3. Mix the peach and butter base: In a medium bowl, combine the cooled browned butter and cinnamon mixture with the cooked peaches. Add a pinch of salt and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir well to combine.
  4. Whip the cream: In a large mixing bowl, whip 2 cups heavy cream using an electric mixer or whisk until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to overwhip.
  5. Fold in the sweetened condensed milk: Gently fold 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream using a spatula, folding slowly to keep the mixture airy.
  6. Combine all components: Fold the peach and browned butter mixture into the whipped cream and condensed milk base. Mix gently until evenly distributed without overmixing.
  7. Freeze the mixture: Transfer the ice cream base to a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top, cover, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
  8. Serve: Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping for easier serving.

Notes

Use a light-colored pan to brown butter to avoid burning. Whip cream to soft peaks only to prevent turning it into butter. Fold ingredients gently to maintain airy texture. If ice cream is too hard, let it soften at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained well.
