Honey-Peach Ice Cream

This week in supermarket we bought some peaches and they were all so ripe that I grabbed some from my children and decided to try Dorie Greenspan recipe. Some weeks ago it was introduced in Thuesdays with Dorie project ? These ice creams are very creamy, with a mild taste of honey and peach. Just we all agreed that next time I will puree all peaches, because those that I chopped became like little ice cristals and were very very cold ? And in the photo you can see what conditions I have almost all the time photographing my creations 😀
Honey-Peach Ice Cream
Time needed:
Yields: 4 servings
Ingredients:
1 cup = 247 ml
- 4 large (about 1 kg) ripe peaches, peeled and pitted
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tsps. pure vanilla extract
Directions:
- Coarsely chop half the peaches into 1 cm chunks and toss them into a small saucepan.
- Add the honey and bring to a boil, then lower the heat, cover the pan and cook, stirring occasionally until the peaches are soft but not mushy, about 10 minutes.
- Scrape the mixture into a blender or food processor and whir to puree. Set the peach puree aside while you make the custard.
- Bring the milk and cream to a boil in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan.
- Meanwhile in a medium bowl, whisk the yolks and sugar together until very well blended and just slightly thickened.
- Still whisking, drizzle in about one third of the hot liquid – this will temper, or warm, the eggs so they do not curdle. Whisking all the while, slowly pour in the remaining liquid.
- Pour the custard back into the pan and cook over medium heat, stirring without stopping, until the custard thickens slightly. The custard should reach at least 75°C, but no more than 80°C.
- Immediately remove the pan from the heat and pour the custard into clean heatproof bowl. Stir in the vanilla and the peach puree.
- Refrigerate the custard until chilled before churning it into ice cream.
- Scrape the chilled custard into the bowl of an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer’s instructions.
- While the ice cream is churning, finely dice the remaining 2 peaches, then, just before the ice cream is thickened and ready, add the peaches and churn to bland.
- Pack the ice cream into a container and freeze it for at least 2 hours, until it is firm enough to scoop.
- Enjoy!

Ice cream without eggs
This hot day I give you ice cream. All agreed that they really good and they taste almost like store bought.
Russian pancake baked in an oven
The first pancake that baked out grate. Others that I’ve tries were some how not good – too much milk, or too much berries. But this time pancake was fluffy, and tender. Only next time I’ll try to bake it in a larger form, because this time it came out very thick and that’s why taste was like curd bake but without curd 🙂 But it’s tasty, easy and quick. And you don’t have to stand near the pan.
Crepes stuffed with broccoli and cheese
I’m very excited when the recipe which I chose to prepare is admitted 110 percents. I wanted to make these crepes all week long, but all week I had no time to spend in the kitchen. And only this weekend the time has come 🙂 I’m very glad that I made only half portion because if there were more than four crepes I couldn’t stop eating. The filling is so light, with the gentle taste of broccoli and very nice taste of cheese. My hubby said he wasn’t hungry but ate one crepe and was very excited 🙂 The next time I will not make our usual crepes with cheese filling, but give a little bit more time and make these crepes.
Puffed rice with sunflower seeds and honey
It’s a very quick dessert or snack. It’s my style 🙂 And the ingredients are only a few. But it’s a pity that in Lithuania we can’t find puffed rice, only in Poland…
Cranberries and chocolate cake
If you like sour and sweet cakes like us – this is for you. I was afraid that it will be too sour but is was really good.
