Peach Ice Cream
 
Ingredients
  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 4 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
  • 1¾ cups sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 7 egg yolks
  • ¼ cup light corn syrup
  • 2½ pounds fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • Garnish: sliced fresh peaches
Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine milk and cream. Scrape seeds from vanilla bean into milk mixture; add bean to mixture. Cook over medium-low heat until mixture is very warm, about 10 minutes. Remove and discard vanilla bean.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together sugar and flour. Add egg yolks, whisking until combined. Whisking constantly, pour one-fourth of hot milk mixture into sugar mixture. Whisking constantly, add sugar mixture to remaining hot milk mixture. Cook, stirring frequently, over medium-low heat until mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat; strain mixture into a medium bowl. Stir in corn syrup. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours or up to 3 days.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine chopped peaches and lemon juice. Let stand for 10 minutes. Add to chilled milk mixture.
