A fuss-free, creamy no-churn peaches and cream ice cream with a crunchy waffle cone crumble that captures the nostalgic summer flavor without needing an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe peaches, peeled and diced
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar, divided
  • 2 cups (480ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1 can (14 ounces / 396g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3 waffle cones, crushed into small pieces
  • Optional: pinch of ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, toss diced peaches with 2 tablespoons (25g) of granulated sugar and lemon juice. Let sit for about 20 minutes to macerate.
  2. Place waffle cones in a food processor and pulse until a mix of small chunks and crumbs forms. Alternatively, crush cones in a zip-top bag with a rolling pin. Set aside.
  3. Whip the heavy cream in a chilled bowl on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Avoid overwhipping.
  4. In a large bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and remaining ½ cup (75g) granulated sugar until smooth.
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture using slow, sweeping motions to keep it airy.
  6. Drain excess liquid from the macerated peaches if needed. Fold peaches and juices into the creamy mixture gently.
  7. Pour half the ice cream base into a freezer-safe container. Sprinkle a generous layer of waffle cone crumble over it, then top with the remaining ice cream mixture. Finish with another layer of crumble on top.
  8. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
  9. Serve scooped into bowls or cones, optionally garnished with fresh peach slices or a drizzle of honey.

Notes

Chill mixing bowls and beaters before whipping cream for better volume. Fold whipped cream gently to keep airiness. If icy spots form during freezing, stir gently after 3 hours. Use ripe peaches for best flavor. For dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and sweetened condensed milk with coconut milk version. For gluten-free, use gluten-free waffle cones or alternative crumble.
