Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups ripe peaches peeled and diced (about 3–4 peaches)
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
- 2 large eggs
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups half and half
- 2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon bourbon optional
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine diced peaches, 3 tablespoons of sugar, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Let them sit for 20-30 minutes to release their juices.
- Transfer half of the peaches and their juices to a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until softened and thickened. Remove from heat and cool.
- Lightly pulse the cooked peaches in a blender or food processor until mostly smooth with a bit of texture. Set aside to cool completely.
- Keep the remaining fresh peaches refrigerated for later use.
Notes
For a creamier texture, ensure the heavy cream is cold before using.
Optional bourbon adds a unique flavor but can be omitted for a non-alcoholic version.
Serve alongside fresh fruits or drizzled with chocolate sauce for added taste.
