Peaches ‘N Cream Popsicles Recipe
Introduction
Peaches ‘N Cream Popsicles are a creamy, refreshing treat perfect for hot summer days. Made with fresh or frozen peaches, rich cream, and a touch of vanilla, these popsicles bring a delicious twist to enjoying fruit in a cool, icy form.
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen peaches
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Step 1: If using fresh peaches, peel, cut up, and purée them. For frozen peaches, thaw naturally or warm gently on the stove with a little water, then cool before puréeing.
- Step 2: Whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until it just begins to thicken. A food processor works well for small batches.
- Step 3: Combine the puréed peaches, whole milk, and whipped cream. The mixture will be thicker, so use a spatula to help pour it evenly into popsicle molds.
- Step 4: Freeze the molds for at least 6 hours until solid, then enjoy your creamy peaches and cream popsicles.
Tips & Variations
- Use ripe, fresh peaches for the best flavor, or frozen peaches when fresh are not available.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less powdered sugar to suit your taste.
- Try swapping whole milk for almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
- Add a few small peach chunks into the molds for extra texture.
Storage
Store the popsicles in an airtight container or tightly covered popsicle molds in the freezer. They will keep well for up to 2 weeks. For best texture, avoid refreezing once thawed. To enjoy, let them sit at room temperature for a couple of minutes before eating.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use canned peaches instead of fresh or frozen?
Canned peaches are softer and contain extra liquid, which may affect the texture of the popsicles. If using canned, drain them well and adjust liquid quantities to maintain a creamy consistency.
What can I substitute for heavy whipping cream?
If you want a lighter option, you can use full-fat coconut milk or a thick plant-based cream alternative, though the texture may be slightly different but still delicious.
