SCREAMING FOR PEACH MANGO ICE-CREAM…
Here’s an ice-cream that left us screaming for more…literally!! Helped the daughter make this a couple of weeks ago coz she wanted to make peach ‘something’…peach anything actually !! Peaches have flooded our market this year & tempt me endlessly. Quite insanely, I can hear them calling to me from their shelves in the local bazaar. All summer fruits are far too irresistible, so I always come back home with bagfuls – plums, apricots, peaches, mango, cherries…! The heat notwithstanding, I can spend happy hours browsing through racks / baskets of these sweet nothings, picking out perfect, unblemished fruit.
Peaches galore…
Mike @ Mike’s table is big fan of ice cream. In his words “I was happily the odd one out there making ice creams in the dead of winter. But now with the heat of summer finally bearing down on many of us, there won’t be quite so many raised eye brows over ice cream. So I’m calling on you, fellow food bloggers, to put your creativity towards cooling off with something sweet this summer.” Make sure you check out the frozen treasure trove at his site…it’s COOL!! Watermelon sorbets, mint julep, apricot ripple…
Topped with apricots in syrup…sitting pretty on a beautiful runner that Arundati from Escapades sent to me as a gift; there was loads of exciting stuff in the bag!!! Thank you dear girl!!
This recipe made a handsome amount & the daughter proudly served it over meringue, with apricots in syrup, a drizzle of cream & thickened apricot/mint syrup when my BIL/SIL were visiting for dinner. They loved it too…& BIL went in for 3rds too! YUM!!
Ingredients:
Fresh cream – 500ml
Condensed milk – 1 can (14oz)
Mangoes – 2-3 / pureed (I used kesari)
Peaches – 7-8 (700gms), blanched, peeled,pitted, stewed & pureed
Method:
-
Beat the cream & condensed milk well. Add the mango puree & peach puree. (Taste & adjust sugar if required).
- Put into a plastic bowl with a tight fitting lid & put into the freezer.
- Whisk the ice-cream every hour to break the crystals that form from the edge inwards, at least 5-6 times (whinge-whinge), & then leave to set for 6-8 hours or overnight.
- It’s absolutely delicious on its own … serves 8-10.
-
We also served scoops over almond meringues, topped with apricots chilled in syrup, a drizzle of unsweetened cream & thickened apricot/mint syrup….& of course, a sprig of mint! Very refreshing & satisfying!!
Let’s scream for ice-cream!!!
Found about this neat event at Ivy’s; it’s called ‘Original Recipes’ @ Culinarty with Lore. She says, “Concoctions born out of despair when trying to fix something we thought to be ruined, others that come up as a way of playing in the kitchen or just ideas that you put into practice hoping to make your kids or better half eat a bit more of this or a bit more of that…they all bring us great satisfaction when a success!”…It’s never easy to put thoughts into words, & she did it brilliantly!! This recipe is one of my favourite concoctions, & is en route to Lores’.

This looks awesome! You’ve managed to take not-perfect peaches to what looks like an amazing dessert (with a great set of toppings).
Also, many thanks for the kind words and this great looking entry 🙂

I know what I’m going to buy the next time I go the Farmer’s Market 😉
And we live in Georgia 🙂 It is called the Peach State. Deeba, I was quite pleasantly surprised to find that this recipe does not need an ice cream maker. I’m pretty much like Mike. So this post is a keeper! 🙂 Thanks.

You had me at hello….. I love it when you make ice cream! It so good to know that the possibilities are endless – you really give us a great foundation for going out there on our own. Yes, I should be making ice cream right about NOW. We’re having a terrible heat-wave & it’s suppose to hit triple digits ALL week long. OK, this is my to-do list: Buy fresh fruit & milks; combine, freeze & wait; eat 2 or 3 HUGE bowls; skip exercise b/c of heat; mope about needing to work-out; console self with more ice cream. I love it. I’m set for the week! Thank you, my friend.
Tanti baci,

I’m sure mangoes and peaches are great at complementing each other without any of them overpowering the other…and that makes a perfect pair in my opinion. Great concoction and thanks for participating!

Peaches and mangoes are delicious and have eaten a lot of peaches this summer. However in Greece you can’t get these two fruits together as we find mangoes in May and Peaches July-August. Your ice cream looks delicious.
