Homemade Peach Ice Cream Is A Great Way To Use Up Excess Peaches
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. They are absolutely amazing peaches, and I am determined not to let them go to waste. I am therefore being forced to attempt my long-held fear desire to learn how to can fruit.
The geek in me is terribly excited. Ridiculously excited 🙂
Vegan Peach Ice Cream
In the mean time, 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!
We enjoyed some as a post-dinner treat in the backyard last night, and it was so lovely 🙂 my toddler was ecstatic, and now very keen to help collect all the peaches with me!

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 Leftovers
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.
Happy eating.
Frozen peaches and coconut cream combine to make the perfect summer treat. Vegan, refined sugar free and positively delightful.
- 2 cups frozen peaches
- 1/2 cup full fat coconut cream
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp honey (or maple syrup if vegan)
-
Remove frozen peaches from the freezer and allow to thaw for 5 mins
-
Throw all ingredients into a food processor or high powered blender. Blend until an ice cream like consistency is reached (about 3-5 minutes depending on the power of your machine). Scrape down the sides with a spatula as needed
-
Serve up and enjoy
Add more honey depending on the level of sweetness you require. I found 1 tbsp to be perfect for me, but this wasn't overly sweet.

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.
So glad to hear it Michael, loving the idea of adding ginger, I am going to have to try that out myself next time!
This looks SO good! Can’t wait to try it. 🙂
Thanks Pam 🙂
This ice cream looks yummy!
I love fruit ice-creams, they are much healthier and they taste much better!

Thanks Betty 🙂 Yeah I actually prefer fruit ice cream to normal dairy and egg ice cream nowadays (something I never thought would happen 🙂 )
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!
Oh I wish my mum would do all the canning for me 🙂 No, I had fun doing it, its a lot of work though!
Mmmmm! This looks so yummy! I’m pinning it to my ice cream board on Pinterest to save and try later. Thank you!
Thanks Aliyyah! I love the sound of an ice cream board 🙂
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!
I felt like I was waiting forever for them to ripen, and then all at once I have hundreds 🙂
Oooohh! I have this weird thing about not eating ice cream with fruit in it, but my dude would LOVE this!
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 🙂
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 🙂

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!
You make the yummiest, good-for-you stuff! If you ever need a taste tester, I happily volunteer! 😀
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!
Love the peach and vanilla together! So lovely!
Thanks Rebecca 🙂
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!
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 🙂
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!
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!!
so tempting….
🙂
