No-Churn Peach Gelato with Honey Peaches

This no-churn peach ice cream is an easy, elegant dessert with a smooth creamy texture. Fresh strawberries, raspberries and blackberries are also absolutely delicious on top.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds peaches (about 5 or 6 peaches)
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 2 ounces cream cheese (at room temperature)
• 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
• Pitted and sliced peaches
• Honey
• Fresh thyme leaves (optional)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Fill a bowl with ice water. Use a small, sharp knife to mark an X on the bottom of each peach. Drop the peaches in the boiling water for 1 minute. Transfer the peaches to the ice water and cool.
2. 2Slip the skins off the peaches, remove the pits and roughly chop. Puree in a food processor with the sugar until smooth (or leave it slightly chunky if you prefer). Put the puree in a bowl and stir in the condensed milk until smooth and combined.
3. 3Whip the cream, cream cheese and salt in a mixer with the whisk attachment until soft peaks form. Fold in the peach mixture with a spatula until completely blended.
4. 4Scrape the mixture into a loaf pan or other freezer-proof container. Cover and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.
5. 5Take the gelato out of the freezer about 15 minutes before serving to ease in scooping. Serve in bowls with sliced peaches, a drizzle of honey and the thyme sprinkled over.
