Feeling Peachy!

July 1, 2016 by David James Di Pardo 3 Comments

Peaches are by far my favorite summer fruit. There’s nothing like the scent of a fresh, ripe peach, bursting with flavor. My apologies to the rest of the summer fruits, I love you all, but peaches really steal the show. Every year I look forward to that moment when the markets are stocked with baskets of peaches; picked just in time so that they aren’t hard and tart or soft and mushy, but rather that sweet spot right in between.

Well I spotted baskets of peaches at the market a couple weeks ago, surprised by their early appearance, I immediately bought one. Usually I turn to pie when peach season rolls around, but this time I had my heart set on ice cream. After-all there is always a good reason to make ice cream.Turns out there was reason they were early, they weren’t nearly ripe yet.

In my despair I decided to proceed with my ice cream as planned, with one difference, I’d roast the peaches. In the past I would never have thought about roasting fruit for ice cream. But, after a very successful roasted plum-lavender ice cream last year, followed by an even better roasted banana-bourbon ice cream, I figured why not.

The results where heavenly, I’m surprised any made it to the freezer to set. Fresh out of the ice cream maker is was like clouds of sweet creamy peach mouse. The recipe itself is so ridiculously easy, I’m almost embarrassed to share it. There is no cooking aside from the roasting of the peaches, and the whole recipe uses 4 ingredients. Seriously, it doesn’t get much better than that. So with the hot weather upon, should you find yourself with a basket of unripened fruit, go ahead and make some ice cream!

    It’s a really hard habit to break but if you do it slowly and make simple swaps over time its totally worth it – my taste buds have changed for the better. If I let myself have a ‘treat’ now I don’t feel so good afterwards. But a little dark chocolate every week is a must for me. I make chocolate out of my chocolate so melt it down and put goji berries in and other treats!
