Peach Almond Ice Cream



Peaches are in high season here in Colorado and we are making the most of it. This week I made a gluten free (of course), fruit sweetened, dairy free, vegan Peach Almond Ice Cream.

To increase the peach factor, I diced up more fresh peaches and mooshed them into the ice cream after it came out of the ice cream maker.

This is another recipe that is a bit more complicated than most, however, I found it to be well worth the effort. As I ate this Peach Almond Ice Cream, I was pleasantly surprised that so few (and such healthy) ingredients, could taste so good.

Peach Almond Ice Cream
1 cup almonds, soaked overnight, discard soaking water
1 cup water
3-4 peaches
5 dates
4 drops stevia
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Place soaked almonds and water in vita-mix
Blend on highest setting until smooth, about 1 minute, add a bit more water if blending is a challenge
Remove almond mixture from vita-mix and strain through a fine mesh paint strainer bag, discarding solids
Place almond mixture in rinsed out vita-mix container, blend in peaches and dates on highest setting until smooth
Blend in stevia, vanilla and lemon juice
Place mixture in ice cream maker and process according to instructions
I decided to pair peaches with almonds since agriculturally speaking they are close cousins and have somewhat similar as well as complementary flavors.

NB: this is NOT my recipe. Carla.

Sounds lovely! :) Thanks for sharing. Almost makes me want to run out and buy an ice cream maker.

If you don't have an ice cream maker (like me) you can adapt the recipe to use with a food processor. I make the almond milk, sweeten it, and freeze it in ice cube trays. Peel, slice, and freeze the peaches. Put the frozen cubes and frozen peaches in the food processor. Process until smooth, eat immediately.

I always have to eat it right away as it will freeze solid. I'm wondering about using an ice cream maker. Does it make an ice cream that you can keep in the freezer and it will still be creamy later????
