A Make-Up Session: Honey-Peach Ice Cream from Dorie


It's not a Tuesday, but I recently had a chance--and a good reason--to make Dorie's Honey Peach Ice Cream (you can find the recipe on Brown Interior, since it was Tommi's TWD pick recently). It is prime PRIME peach season right now, and I happen to still have lots of premium Tupelo honey still from my Apalach trip, so Peaches and Tupelo Honey Ice Cream it was.

I've kept my ice cream freezer ready and waiting in the freezer, so it was no big deal. Peaches get peeled and chopped then briefly cooked with the honey, bringing out tons of flavor. Blend it up (with my handy Kitchenaid stick blender. I've said it before, I'll say it again: Best. Kitchen. Tool. Ever.)...cool. Make a quick custard of egg yolks, sugar, cream and milk. Mix with peaches. Chill all then pour it into the freezer.

The peach flavor in this is just incredible, and the honey comes through, too...what complementary flavors those two are...

As for the photo? I couldn't snap quickly enough. This is what was left when I finally managed to break out the camera.

This is a keeper of a recipe.

ah! I would like to make this ice cream today but can't find the recipe. The Brown Interior link doesn't work and I can't find it on the Tuesday's with Dorey. Could you please post it here so that I can make it? It sounds so delish! Thanks!! :)

Brandy, email me (barb[at]barbfreda[dot]com and I'll send you the recipe. I cannot find Tommi of Brown Interior anywhere...so sorry that link no longer works...seems her blog is history.

Thanks Babette, I found another blogger that sent it to me. I tried it but my fam thinks it has too much honey. I think I'll try it again w/o as much honey. Thanks again!
