New Recipes #14 Peach Cheesecake Ice Cream

[lillibet]

I finally started using my ice cream maker last summer, but had mostly focused on sorbets for various reasons. I had been thinking for a while that I should try making actual ice cream and thought I would start with vanilla--I like vanilla--but then this recipe jumped out of a magazine at me. It turned out very well. The recipe makes enough for two batches, so I tried two different sizes of dicing the peaches--smaller is better. The second batch was much creamier, for reasons I don't understand that might have to do with the custard sitting in the fridge for a couple of days before being frozen. Further experimentation is clearly required.

How cold was the custard when you put it in the ice cream maker each time? The colder the ice cream mix is, the smoother it will be. Something about smaller ice crystals.....

The first time, it had been in the fridge for ~16 hours. The second batch had been in the same fridge for 3 days, I think. So that may have been it.
