Peach Ice Cream From Your Blender

Peach ice cream in a glass bowl on a platter
  • 1 cup lite non-dairy creamer or Half & Half
  • 1 pound frozen peaches (Since it’s peach season, I buy fresh organic peaches, slice them and put them in the freezer. You can always purchase organic frozen peaches.)
  • ½ cup organic pure cane sugar, or some other sweetener. I usually use less sugar, especially if the peaches are ripe.
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla flavoring
  • ½ teaspoon almond flavoring

Place all of the ingredients in your blender. It needs to be a high-powered blender like a Vita Mix. (In fact, I discovered this recipe in their book.) Turn your machine on. If you have a variable speed blender, start out slowly and turn it quickly up to high. Blend for 30–60 seconds. If the ice cream has the consistency of a milkshake, you can enjoy it that way, or add more ice to firm it up. You can also put it in a freezer-proof container and let it firm up in the freezer for an hour or so.

However you like it, a peachy milkshake or ice cream. It’s a wonderful treat for these last few dog days of summer.
