4 Homemade Peach Ice cream

I have talked about my friend, Kelli's vegetable garden before, but I haven't told you about her peach trees! Kelli had already made peach jam, peach preserves, and peach cobbler this weekend so when Nate and I arrived on Sunday afternoon, we decided to tackled homemade peach ice cream!! 

And it was incredible! There are three types of ice cream that I am obsessed with. . . gellato in Italy, Cows in Whistler and, of course, Blue Bell! This ice cream was a lot creamer than Blue Bell and was amazing! Trying out new recipes with a friend is always more fun than doing it on your own! And it is also great to have a house full of "tasters"!!!
What is your favorite drink or dessert to keep you cool on these hot summer days?

We also took the skin off. . .

 The finished product!

Homemade Peach Ice Cream
6 eggs beaten
3 1/2 cups white sugar 
10 fresh peaches, pitted and chopped
4 cups heavy cream
2 cups half-and-half cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon salt

In large bowl, mix together eggs and sugar until smooth; puree peaches in blender or food processor and stir 5 cups of puree into egg mixture. (we didn't puree it all the way since we wanted chunks of peaches in the ice cream.) Stir in cream, half-and-half, vanilla and salt and mix well. Pour mixture into freezer canister of ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions.
