A creamy, dreamy vegan peach ice cream made with coconut milk and fresh peaches, perfect for a light and indulgent summer dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1 can (13.5 oz / 400 ml) full-fat coconut milk, chilled
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons almond butter or cashew butter
  • Optional: A handful of chopped fresh mint or basil leaves
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon coconut flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peaches by blanching them in boiling water for about 30 seconds, then plunge into ice water to loosen the skin. Peel, pit, slice, and roughly chop the peaches.
  2. In a high-speed blender, combine the peaches, chilled coconut milk, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until completely smooth and creamy with no peach chunks remaining.
  3. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or acidity by adding more maple syrup or lemon juice if desired.
  4. Pour the blended mixture into a bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill.
  5. If using an ice cream maker, churn the chilled mixture according to the manufacturer’s instructions (about 20-25 minutes). If not, pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze. Stir vigorously every 30 minutes for 4-6 hours to break up ice crystals until fully set and creamy.
  6. Optional: Fold in nut butters, chopped herbs, or coconut flakes near the end of freezing for added texture and flavor.

Notes

Use full-fat coconut milk for best creaminess; avoid light versions. Chill the mixture before freezing to improve texture. Stir every 30 minutes during freezing if not using an ice cream maker to prevent iciness. Blend just until smooth to avoid overheating the coconut fat. Optional add-ins like nut butters or coconut flakes should be folded in near the end of freezing.
