Frozen peaches and coconut cream combine to make the perfect summer treat: Homemade Peach Ice Cream. This special warm-weather treat is not only refined sugar-free and egg-free, it also doesn't require an ice cream maker and can be made with just a blender.
Homemade Peach Ice Cream Is A Great Way To Use Up Excess Peaches
Jump to:
Our peach tree has ripened. The WHOLE bloody thing at once!
I am picking approximately 20 peaches from the tree every day, and fighting a small war with the local squirrels to get there first.
They are determined little buggers.
Anyway, this is a good problem to have.
Fresh homegrown peaches are absolutely amazing, and I am determined not to let them go to waste.
I have therefore been forced to attempt my long-held fear desire to learn how to can fruit.
The geek in me is terribly excited.
Ridiculously excited 🙂
How To Make Homemade Peach Ice Cream
In the meantime, I have made like 6 batches of frozen peaches, and this fantastically simple Vegan Peach Ice Cream has resulted.
It is:
- dairy-free
- egg free
- refined sugar-free
- vegan
- no churn
- delicious
You can use some homemade frozen peaches, or you can buy the big bags of pre-frozen peaches at the store.
They really need to be frozen for it to work though.
Please don't try making this with thawed or fresh unfrozen peaches!
It will not work as you will end up with more of a smoothie consistency (still delicious, but not what we are going for here).
We enjoyed some as a post-dinner treat in the backyard last night, and it was so lovely 🙂
Need a Quick Foolproof Method For Peeling Peaches?
If you have a peach tree or access to reasonably priced peaches (hit up the farmers market), then chances are you are going to want NEED to know how to peel a peach.
Make it quick and easy with this simple tutorial on the best way to peel a peach, and get a big batch done in no time.
How To Store Homemade Peach Ice Cream
I like to store my extra ice cream in these adorable ice cream tubs.
It will keep for a couple of weeks in the freezer, you may just need to let it rest on the bench for about 5 minutes before scooping to let it soften up a bit.

Megan says
Is there any sort of substitute for the coconut cream? This looks delicious, but sometimes coconut is hard on my stomach.
Donna says
Hi Megan, you could just use normal cream if you aren't wanting to keep it vegan.
Michael Simmons says
Thank you for sharing this recipe, Donna! I made this ice cream a few days ago and it turned out perfect! My kids loved it so much. This time I added some ginger and I’m going to add strawberry next time.
Donna says
So glad to hear it Michael, loving the idea of adding ginger, I am going to have to try that out myself next time!
Pam @ Hodge Podge Moments says
This looks SO good! Can't wait to try it. 🙂
Whole Food Bellies says
Thanks Pam 🙂
Betty says
This ice cream looks yummy!
I love fruit ice-creams, they are much healthier and they taste much better!

Whole Food Bellies says
Thanks Betty 🙂 Yeah I actually prefer fruit ice cream to normal dairy and egg ice cream nowadays (something I never thought would happen 🙂 )
Shannon Peterson says
Home fresh canned peaches are my favorite but my mom does them so I dont have to do any of the work 😉
This looks AWESOME and I love that those of us with diary intolerances can enjoy it!
Whole Food Bellies says
Oh I wish my mum would do all the canning for me 🙂 No, I had fun doing it, its a lot of work though!
Aliyyah says
Mmmmm! This looks so yummy! I'm pinning it to my ice cream board on Pinterest to save and try later. Thank you!
Whole Food Bellies says
Thanks Aliyyah! I love the sound of an ice cream board 🙂
Kat from curlsnchard.com says
I love this incredibly simple ice-cream! That's the best 🙂 Peaches are not ripe here yet, but I'm really looking forward to when they are!
Whole Food Bellies says
I felt like I was waiting forever for them to ripen, and then all at once I have hundreds 🙂
Natalie Patalie says
Oooohh! I have this weird thing about not eating ice cream with fruit in it, but my dude would LOVE this!
Whole Food Bellies says
Oh it's not weird Natalie, I had that right up until a year or two ago - then had a pregnancy craving for fruity ice cream, which has stuck around 🙂
Lisa @ Strum Simmer Sip says
This looks amazing! I just made a "nice cream" out of bananas and found that it was way too banana-ey. Will need to try this instead 🙂

Whole Food Bellies says
Yeah I love 'nice cream', but I tend to add other strong flavours in there to take away some of the banana flavour 🙂 Hope you give this one a go, it is just as easy!
Jennifer S says
You make the yummiest, good-for-you stuff! If you ever need a taste tester, I happily volunteer! 😀
Whole Food Bellies says
Haha thanks Jennifer, that made my day! You may have to fight off my toddler though - she is taste tester in charge 🙂 She gives my husband a full report every day!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Love the peach and vanilla together! So lovely!
Whole Food Bellies says
Thanks Rebecca 🙂
Justine Y @ Little Dove Creations says
We LOVE making ice cream, but peach is a flavor that we haven't tried yet! I like that I wouldn't need to use my ice cream maker for this one, so I could make two different types of ice cream at once, lol. 😉 Thanks for the great idea Donna! Pinned!
Whole Food Bellies says
You are very welcome Justine 🙂 Yeah I had an ice cream maker for years and was way too impatient to put it in the freezer for the required time, so it never worked for me - hence my new obsession with no-churn ice creams 🙂
Leighann says
I love tree- ripened peaches!! And canned peaches, and peach cobbler, and peach ice cream (came over from Insta for your recipe!) you can do low- sugar jam if you're interested, without a water bath. I have the steps on my blog (www.leighannmarquiss.com). Search in the side bar for jam recipe. We used to make it with my mom growing up and now I do it with my own children. Lots of fun and makes great Christmas/teacher gifts. Can't wait to make this ice cream! Yum!
Whole Food Bellies says
Yum, thats a great idea Leighann! I am totally obsessed with everything peach too - especially cobbler 🙂 I will definitely check out your blog for the jam recipe, I just made 12 huge jars of canned peaches and still have a whole basket to use, so on the hunt for more recipes!!
