Note

For best flavor, use peaches that are fragrant and slightly soft to the touch.

If you do not have an ice cream machine, you can freeze the mixture in a shallow container, stirring every 30 minutes with a fork to break up ice crystals until frozen solid.

To store, place the gelato in an airtight container and freeze for up to 2 weeks. Let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping for easier serving.

For a dairy-free version, substitute the whipping cream with full-fat coconut cream, whipped until soft peaks form.
