Categories: Ice Cream

Ingredients

• 1 cup cool water
• 3/4 cup superfine sugar (if you don’t have superfine sugar, simply blitz some granulated sugar in a blender or food processor until super finely ground but not powdery)
• 4 ripe peaches, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
• 3 tablespoonspeach schnapps, brandy, or orange flavored liqueur
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt (preferably full-fat)
• 2 tablespoonschopped toasted hazelnuts (optional)

Directions

1. Bring the water and the sugar to a boil in a saucepan, stirring occasionally. Simmer until the mixture forms a clear syrup.

2. Place the peaches in a bowl and pour the hot syrup over them. Stir in the schnapps, brandy, or liqueur and let cool.

3. Using a slotted spoon, transfer half the fruit to a small bowl and set aside. Pour the remaining peaches and all of the syrup into a blender or food processor and blend along with the cream and the yogurt to the desired consistency.

4. If using an ice-cream maker, pour the mixture into the machine and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
