Note

For best texture, ensure the peach puree is well-drained if using canned peaches, or peel and pit fresh peaches before crushing.

If you do not have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow metal pan and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes with a fork to break up ice crystals until frozen solid.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping for easier serving.

The almond extract enhances the peach flavor; do not omit it as it adds depth to the final product.
