Recipe Tips

The vodka is added to keep the ice cream from turning into a solid mass. It still freezes solid, but you can still get a scoop through it. Omit the vodka if you wish, it adds no flavor.
Add peach schnapps instead of vodka for even more peach flavor.
Substitute chopped, frozen peaches if you like.
If using canned peaches, make sure to drain them thoroughly before using. The extra moisture will make the ice cream icy instead of creamy.
Store ice cream in the freezer, in an airtight container for up to one month for best flavor and texture.

This recipe was originally posted July 2020. I was not happy with the iciness of the peaches and decided to start over from scratch.

I have not tried this new cream cheese version with diced peaches mixed into the ice cream base, yet. If you decide to stir diced peaches into the ice cream mixture before freezing, please let me know how it turns out!
