Adding peaches to a mouthwatering vanilla ice cream recipe I got from my mother-in-law resulted in this fabulous flavor. My boys say it's the greatest and think it tastes best served outdoors under a shade tree!—Lisa Tenbarge, Haubstadt, Indiana

Ingredients

1 cup sugar
1 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
3-1/3 cups heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup instant vanilla pudding mix
1-1/2 cups finely chopped fresh or frozen peaches, thawed
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

In a large saucepan, combine sugar, milk and egg. Cook over low heat until mixture is just thick enough to coat a metal spoon and a thermometer reads at least 160°, stirring constantly. Do not allow to boil. Remove from heat immediately.
Quickly transfer to a large bowl; place bowl in a pan of ice water. Stir gently and occasionally for 2 minutes. Press plastic wrap onto surface of custard. Refrigerate several hours or overnight.
Stir in cream, pudding mix, peaches and vanilla into custard. Fill cylinder of an ice cream freezer two-thirds full. Freeze according to manufacturer's directions. (Refrigerate any remaining mixture until ready to freeze.) Transfer ice cream to freezer containers, allowing headspace for expansion. Freeze 2-4 hours or until firm. Repeat with any remaining ice cream mixture.

Editor's Note: This recipe may need to be frozen in batches

Delicious peach ice cream! I used fat free half and half in place of most of the whipping cream. Also made it with 1/3 cup chocolate syrup in place of the peaches, Very good!
