Sweet summertime, we’re finally here!
One of the best parts of summer is all of the fresh fruits that become available, including peaches! Why not take those deliciously fresh peaches and turn it into a sweet peach ice cream?
The best part is: you can actually use your fresh peaches! They bring out the best flavor possible in this Ninja Creami ice cream recipe.
I’m going to be honest, peaches aren’t on my top 10 favorite fruits list. There has never been a moment where I felt like grabbing a peach and eating it because I enjoy this flavor.
But I feel like my endorsement means so much more because of that when I tell you this peach ice cream is delicious!
One of my favorite memories with peaches was when I went to the Nashville Farmer’s Market with my friend. They were having a whole peach festival, and I thought it would be fun to go, since there was usually live music, food trucks, and amazing dessert.
I didn’t like peaches and neither did my friend (she was actually allergic). We didn’t end up eating anything peach-related, but it was still a great time.
So even if you are not a peach fan, give this recipe a try! The refreshing, creamy treat might end up surprising you!
To Make Dairy-Free Peach Ice Cream, Use the Following:
- 1 tbsp vegan cream cheese for 1 tbsp cream cheese
- 1 cup oat milk for 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup cream of coconut for 3/4 cup heavy cream
First Time Using the Ninja Creami or Looking for Tips?
While the Ninja Creami is a machine with only 7 (or 11) buttons, it can still be intimidating! Here are a few tips and tricks Alex and I have picked up since beginning our ice cream journey with the Ninja Creami!
- How many peaches do I need? We used 2 peaches to get our 2/3 cup pureed peaches! Feel free to add a bit more or less, depending on how much peach flavor you’re looking for!
- Can I use frozen peaches? Yes! Make sure to defrost and smash or puree them, in order to mix them evenly with no chunks. Large chunks of frozen fruit have the potential to damage the Ninja Creami blade, so we try to mash or puree any fruit before we use it!
- If I put the pint back into the freezer, do I need to mix the ice cream up again before enjoying? Surprisingly, no! When using the typical base ingredients (whole milk, heavy cream), re-spinning is probably best to get the ice cream back to its original creamy consistency after freezing. However, we have found when using oat milk and cream of coconut, our first spin leaves the ice cream very creamy (almost like a soft-serve texture). After putting it in the freezer for 24 hours after this original spin, the ice cream is the perfect texture to enjoy without re-spinning! My suggestion is see how the texture is without a re-spin, and re-spin only as necessary!
- What button should I use to spin my ice cream? This all depends on the consistency you’re going for! Each button operates the machine at varying speeds. For thicker concoctions (like ice cream), the ice cream button is best. However, if using eggs in the recipe (like a gelato), use the gelato button! The sorbet button is best used with fruit mixtures. For example, if mixing a can of pineapples in heavy syrup, use the sorbet button to make a delicious fruity creation! Overall, it’s something you can experiment with to find your personal preference for your ice cream consistency.

Ninja Creami Peach Ice Cream
Description
Peach ice cream uses fresh peaches to bring a delicious and fruity treat to your ice cream bowl. Pureed peaches easily mix throughout the ice cream, and this simple recipe will soon become one of your favorites!
To make this recipe in the Ninja Creami Deluxe, multiply all ingredients by 1.5
Note: 1 serving = 1 pint
Ingredients
Instructions
Place 1 tbsp cream cheese in a medium bowl and microwave for 5-10 seconds. If the cream cheese was in the fridge, these 5-10 seconds in the microwave will help soften it up to mix well with the other ingredients.
Combine cream cheese with 1/2 tsp vanilla extract and 1/3 cup granulated sugar. Whisk until the ingredients are mixed together.
In a food processor, puree 2 peaches. Note: peel the peach and cut out the core before processing.
Measure 2/3 cup pureed peaches and whisk into the cream cheese/extract/sugar mixture.
Slowly whisk in 1 cup whole milk and 3/4 cup heavy cream.
Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, ensuring it does not go over the max fill line.
Freeze the pint for 24 hours, ensuring it is placed on a flat surface in the freezer.
After 24 hours, remove the pint from the freezer, and plug in your Ninja Creami machine! Time for the magic.
Remove the lid from the pint and grab the Ninja Creami outer bowl. Place the pint securely into the outer bowl and cover with the lid. Once the lid is on, place the outer bowl into the machine, twisting to the right until it locks into place. Press the "Ice Cream" button and (try to) wait patiently for the creamy treat coming your way.
Once the process is finished, press and hold the button on the left side of the Creami to twist the bowl to the left and remove it from the machine. Twist the lid off of the outer bowl and remove the pint.
Now your peach ice cream is ready to enjoy!
Note
If you don't like following recipes, don't worry - you can customize it however you want! We personally use oat milk and coconut cream to avoid most of the dairy, and it's some of the best ice cream we've ever had.

Hi
Can I using canned peach with this recipe ?
If I can do that, should I still canned peach pureed ?
Thank you
I don’t see why not! I would make sure they are pureed so that they don’t freeze in large chunks!
Hope this helps!
Is the 2/3 cup of peaches as measured before or after they are puréed?
It should be 2/3 cup peaches after they are pureed!
