As peach harvest reaches its peak in the USA during the month of July, this timely food holiday honors one of the most beloved ice cream flavors.
The inspiration for peach ice cream dates back to 1900, when chef Auguste Escoffier of France created a dessert containing peaches with raspberry puree.
This fusion of flavors and ingredients led to the creation of peach ice cream.
Homemade peach ice cream is made by adding a mixture of peach slices, eggs, lemon juice, sugar, vanilla, salt, milk, and heavy cream in an ice cream maker.
Store bought or soft serve peach ice cream is available in many markets, especially in peach-growing regions, or at ice cream shops worldwide.
