Peaches & Cream Ice Cream

Ingredients

Ice Cream Base
  • 3 cups of oat milk
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup of sugar
  • 2-1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
Peach Mixture
  • 6 medium peaches peeled, pitted, and cut into ½-inch pieces
  • 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Whisk together 3 cups of oat milk, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  2. Place the mixture into a saucepan and add a 1/2 cup of sugar.
  3. Bring the mixture to an almost-simmer (it should be scalded, jiggling a little at the surface, but not bubbly) over medium low heat.
  4. Dissolve 2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch in 2 tablespoons water; whisk until the cornstarch is smooth, then add it to the ice cream base.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and continue stirring for 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened up and coats the back of a spoon.
  6. Transfer the mixture to the fridge, cover, and allow it to cool for at least 4 hours (or overnight).
  7. In a separate brown, stir the peaches, lemon juice, and sugar. Set aside until a syrup accumulates in the bowl, about 1 hour.
  8. Add the peaches and syrup to a blender and pulse until almost pureed, just enough to break down the large pieces.
  9. Transfer puree to a medium saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat until reduced and thickened, about 5 minutes; stir occasionally.
  10. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours.
  11. Combine the base and peach mixture to a prepared ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
