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 them up, and purée until smooth. For frozen peaches, let them thaw naturally or warm gently in a pot with a little water on the stove. Allow to cool before puréeing.
- Step 2: Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until it begins to hold soft peaks. A food processor works well for small batches.
- Step 3: Mix the puréed peaches and whole milk together, then gently fold in the whipped cream. The mixture will be thick, so use a spatula to help fill your popsicle molds evenly.
- Step 4: Freeze the popsicles for at least 6 hours or until completely solid.
- Step 5: Enjoy your creamy, fruity popsicles on a hot day!
Tips & Variations
- Use fresh peaches in season for the best flavor, but frozen peaches work great any time of year.
- For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half or whole milk for the heavy cream.
- Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the peach purée for a bright, tangy twist.
- Try blending in other stone fruits like nectarines or mango for a different fruity cream pop.
Storage
Store the popsicles in an airtight container or tightly sealed popsicle molds to prevent freezer burn. They will keep well for up to 2 weeks. When ready to eat, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier enjoyment.
