A quick and easy no-churn ice cream combining ripe peaches and cream cheese with a luscious caramel swirl, perfect for summer indulgence without an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 2 cups)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)
  • A pinch of salt
  • For the caramel swirl:
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peaches: Peel and slice the peaches. For easy peeling, blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunge into ice water to slip off skins. Puree the peaches in a blender or food processor until smooth. Set aside. (About 10 minutes)
  2. Make the Caramel Swirl: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbling. Carefully add heavy cream and vanilla extract, stirring constantly until smooth and slightly thickened (about 2 minutes). Remove from heat and add a pinch of salt if desired. Let cool to room temperature. (10 minutes)
  3. Blend Cream Cheese and Peach Puree: Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the peach puree and mix until well combined. Add sugar if peaches are too tart. (5 minutes)
  4. Whip the Cream: In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. (5 minutes)
  5. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the cream cheese and peach mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula, folding slowly to keep it light and airy. (3 minutes)
  6. Layer the Ice Cream and Caramel: Pour half of the ice cream mixture into a freezing container. Spoon half of the caramel over it in dollops. Repeat with remaining ice cream and caramel. Swirl the caramel through the ice cream with a knife or skewer to create a marbled effect. (5 minutes)
  7. Freeze: Cover the container tightly and freeze for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
  8. Serving: Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping for easier serving.

Notes

Soften cream cheese before use to avoid lumps. Chill bowl and beaters before whipping cream for best results. Fold mixtures gently to keep airiness. Adjust sugar based on peach sweetness. Caramel should be pourable but not too runny for best swirl effect. Let ice cream soften slightly before scooping to avoid icy texture.
