Print Recipe

A simple, refreshing dairy-free ice cream made with ripe peaches and full-fat coconut milk, perfect for summer and suitable for vegan and gluten-free diets.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe peaches (about 4 cups or 600g), peeled and chopped
  • 1 can (13.5 oz / 400ml) full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup or agave nectar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon vodka or peach liqueur

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peaches by peeling and chopping into 1-inch pieces. To peel easily, score an ‘X’ on the bottom of each peach, blanch in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer to ice water to slip off skins. (About 10 minutes)
  2. Place chopped peaches in a blender or food processor and pulse until smooth but slightly textured. For ultra-smooth ice cream, strain puree through a fine mesh sieve. (About 5 minutes)
  3. Add canned coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and sea salt to the peach puree. Blend on high speed until fully combined and creamy, about 1-2 minutes. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  4. If using, stir in vodka or peach liqueur to keep ice cream scoopable.
  5. Transfer mixture to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour until thoroughly chilled.
  6. Pour chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer’s instructions, usually 20-25 minutes, until soft-serve consistency.
  7. Transfer churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container, press parchment paper on top to prevent ice crystals, and freeze for at least 3 hours until firm.
  8. Before serving, let ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften for easier scooping.

Notes

Use full-fat canned coconut milk for best creaminess. If no ice cream maker, freeze in a shallow container and stir every 30 minutes for 4-5 times to prevent ice crystals. Adding vodka or peach liqueur helps keep ice cream scoopable. Let ice cream soften at room temperature before serving.
