Note

Ben and Jerry prefer small peaches for this recipe because they tend to have more intense flavor and less water content than larger varieties.

For best results, use ripe peaches that are fragrant and slightly soft to the touch. This ensures the maximum amount of natural sweetness and flavor.

If you do not have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the mixture in a shallow metal container, stirring it vigorously every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals and incorporate air.

Store the finished ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. For best texture, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping.
