Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 2 Cups fresh or frozen peaches
Dairy
- 1 Cup Whole Milk
- 1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
Other
- 3 Tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the peaches: If using fresh peaches, peel and cut them into pieces, then purée until smooth. If using frozen peaches, thaw them either by letting them sit at room temperature or warming gently in a pot with a little water on the stove. Cool before puréeing.
- Whip the cream: In a food processor or mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until it just starts to thicken and hold soft peaks. Avoid overwhipping to maintain a light texture.
- Combine ingredients: Gently fold the puréed peaches and whole milk into the whipped cream. The mixture will be thick and may not pour easily; use a spatula to help transfer it into the popsicle molds.
- Freeze: Place the filled popsicle molds in the freezer and freeze for at least 6 hours, or until fully frozen.
- Enjoy: Once frozen solid, remove the popsicles from the molds and enjoy this creamy, fruity summer delight!
Notes
- You can use either fresh or frozen peaches depending on seasonal availability.
- Lightly whipping the cream prevents the popsicles from becoming too dense and helps achieve a creamy texture.
- If you don’t have powdered sugar, you can blend granulated sugar to a fine powder or substitute with another sweetener, adjusting quantity to taste.
- Let the frozen peaches thaw completely before puréeing to avoid ice crystals in the popsicles.
- Use a food processor or blender to easily purée peaches and whip cream if you lack dedicated mixers.
- Make sure to allow enough freezing time (minimum 6 hours) for the best firmness.
