One of the best moments of summer is when all of the stone fruits come into season.

There is just something so wonderful about having peaches, nectarines, apricots, and plums all so readily available.

Now, of course, we are so lucky that we can buy frozen fruit all year round, so we don’t have to wait just for summer for these wonderful fruits. But, again, there is just something special about a fresh, ripe stone fruit that literally drips down your arm as you eat it.

Why You Need This Recipe

  • If you are looking to make this vegan ice cream recipe when peaches aren’t in season, you can use frozen peaches.
  • You can make homemade peach ice cream in just a few steps (be sure to check out my post on how to make homemade ice cream without a machine if that applies to you).
  • You can use either white peaches or yellow peaches for this recipe. White peaches tend to be naturally sweeter, but yellow peaches offer a nice bit of acidity that works well for this recipe. You can use either type, though.

Recipe Steps

Step One

Gather your ingredients. You’ll need about four whole peaches or two cups of sliced frozen peaches.

Step Two

Blend the peaches, coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla in the base of a high-speed blender.

You can use a cup of pitted dates if you prefer them over maple syrup. Some people think that using dates counts as a whole food sweetener and makes this recipe appropriate for no added sugar diets.

Step Three

Churn the peach ice cream mixture in an ice cream maker (or use the freezer method if you don’t have an ice cream maker).

Please see the recipe card at the end of this post for the exact ingredients and measurements.

Step Four

Freeze the mixture until the ice cream reaches the desired consistency.

Serve and enjoy!

This is one of my favorite ice cream recipes so far, it turned out so creamy and bursting with peach flavor (see all of my dairy-free ice cream recipes). I hope your family loves it too.

Recipe Tips

Recipe FAQs

What brand of ice cream maker is best for homemade ice cream?

I got a Cuisinart ice cream maker at my bridal shower years and years ago and it has served me well. 

Can I use frozen peaches to make peach ice cream? 

Yes, you can. I suggest measuring out 2 cups of frozen peach slices. Also, I wouldn’t chill the coconut milk if you are going to use frozen peaches.

If you’re looking for a healthy and delicious dairy-free frozen dessert, you’ll love this Vegan Peach Ice Cream recipe. You only need four ingredients. Make this recipe even if you don’t have an ice cream maker!

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 12–ounce can of full-fat coconut milk, chilled (don’t chill the coconut milk if you are using frozen peaches)
  • 4 fresh ripe yellow peaches, sliced with pits removed*
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup (or 1 cup of pitted dates)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Freeze your ice cream making bowl for at least 12 hours or according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  2. Combine the coconut milk, peaches, maple syrup or dates, and vanilla in the base of a high-speed blender.
  3. Pour the mixture into the bowl of your ice cream maker and churn for 30 minutes.
  4. Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 30 more minutes before serving.

Notes

  1. *You can use frozen peaches, too. You will need about 2 cups of frozen peaches.
  2. The ice cream will freeze very hard if frozen for longer than 8 hours. In this case, remove the ice cream from the freezer and let it sit on the countertop for at least 15 minutes before serving in order to soften a bit.
  3. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, be sure to read my post on how to make homemade ice cream without a machine.
