Making your own ice cream at home is as easy as baking a pie without all that heat! Prepare a few hours in advance so the ice cream is fully chilled for service.
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons cornstarch
6 cups milk, divided
4 medium eggs
1 (15-ounce) can evaporated milk
2 ½ cups sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups chopped ripe peaches
2 cups whipping cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon almond extract
Directions:
1. In a large pot, whisk together cornstarch and ½ cup milk until smooth. Heat over very low and add 1 ½ cups additional milk at a time, whisking to incorporate. Cook until all milk is added and mixture is thick and smooth, stirring to prevent lumps.
2. In a separate medium bowl, beat together eggs, evaporated milk, sugar, and salt until smooth. Add hot cornstarch mixture in a slow, steady stream, and beat until mixed.
3. Add peaches, whipping cream, vanilla, and almond extract. Beat until mixed.
4. Pour into a 1-gallon electric or hand-crank freezer. Churn and freeze according to manufacturer's directions until firm; carefully remove paddle. Seal the ice cream container well. Freeze for several hours for flavors to blend, then serve.
