Ingredients

Regular version

1 1/2-2 cups fresh pureed peaches (about 4-6 peaches)

2/3 cup sugar

1 1/2 cups half-and-half cream

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon almond flavoring (extract)

Diet version

1 1/2-2 cups fresh pureed peaches (about 4-6 peaches)

8 envelopes Equal sugar substitute (sugar substitute)

1 1/2 cups 1% low-fat milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon almond flavoring (extract)

Preparation

In food processor/blender, puree peaches (peeling the peaches is optional). Blend peach puree and all ingredients until very smooth. Chill ice cream mix until cold, about 1-2 hours. Pour mix into your ice cream machine and process according to manufacturer’s directions. It may be necessary to continue the"chill/beat" cycle for 15-30 minutes after the first cycle stops. Note: Since fresh Peach Ice Cream is very soft, it maybe necessary to let it"ripen" in your ice cream maker for an additional 45 minutes (or place in a bowl in freezer) if you prefer a firmer ice cream.
