Print Recipe

A silky, fragrant no-churn ice cream combining ripe peaches with warm cardamom spice, easy to make without an ice cream maker and perfect for summer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe peaches, peeled and chopped (about 1 ½ cups)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar (50g)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom (or 3–4 crushed green cardamom pods)
  • 1 (14-ounce/396g) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream (480ml), chilled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, toss the peeled and chopped peaches with ¼ cup sugar, lemon juice, and ground cardamom. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to macerate.
  2. Mash about half the peaches with a fork or pulse briefly in a blender for a smoother texture, leaving the other half chunky.
  3. In a large chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes on medium-high speed.
  4. In a separate bowl, stir the sweetened condensed milk with vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
  5. Gently fold the peach mixture into the condensed milk mixture until combined, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the peach-condensed milk mixture in thirds, using slow, sweeping motions to keep it light and fluffy.
  7. Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container, smooth the top, cover tightly, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
  8. Remove from freezer 5-10 minutes before serving to soften slightly for easier scooping and better flavor release.

Notes

Use cold heavy cream for best whipping results. Avoid overwhipping to prevent butter formation. Folding gently preserves airy texture. If ice cream freezes too hard, thaw 10-15 minutes before serving. Fresh cardamom pods provide brighter flavor than ground powder. Lemon juice balances sweetness and brightens peach flavor. Peaches can be substituted with nectarines, apricots, or berries. For dairy-free version, use coconut cream and sweetened condensed coconut milk.
