Peach Ice Cream

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups whipping cream
  • 3/4 sugar
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 lb. perfect peaches
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Method

  • Dissolve 1/2 cup of the sugar and the cream together over medium heat. Whip the egg yolks and temper with the warm cream mixture, adding the yolk mixture back into the pot. Cook until the egg and cream mixture coat the back of a wooden spoon. Strain and chill overnight.
  • Peel and pit the peaches and slice thinly into bowl. Toss with the remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Allow to macerate for 1 hour. Crush peaches with a potato masher,
