This no-churn peach ice cream is the ultimate summer treat. Made with frozen peaches, banana, and creamy Greek yogurt, it's naturally sweet, incredibly smooth, and comes together in just minutes—no ice cream maker required.

Whether you're looking for a lighter frozen dessert or a quick way to use ripe peaches, this easy recipe delivers fresh fruit flavor in every spoonful.

What Makes This Peach Ice Cream So Creamy?

Unlike traditional ice cream, this recipe relies on frozen fruit and Greek yogurt to create a naturally velvety texture. The banana adds sweetness and body, while the yogurt provides richness and a slight tang that perfectly complements juicy peaches.

Blended together, the ingredients become soft, creamy, and surprisingly similar to classic ice cream.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Use Frozen Peaches?

Yes. Store-bought frozen peaches work perfectly and save preparation time.

Do I Need an Ice Cream Maker?

No. A high-powered blender or food processor is all you need.

Can I Skip the Banana?

Yes, although the banana contributes creaminess and natural sweetness. If omitted, add a little extra yogurt and sweetener to taste.

Which Greek Yogurt Is Best?

Plain full-fat Greek yogurt creates the richest, creamiest texture, but low-fat yogurt also works well.

Can I Add Other Fruit?

Absolutely. Mangoes, strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries pair beautifully with peaches.

Can I Add Mix-Ins?

Yes! Fold in chopped peaches, toasted almonds, granola, or mini chocolate chips after blending for extra texture.

How to Store

Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe airtight container and freeze for up to 2 weeks. Let it sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before scooping if it becomes too firm.

How to Freeze

The fruit should be frozen before preparing the recipe. Once blended, the finished ice cream can also be frozen in an airtight container. To maintain its creamy texture, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface before sealing the container. Allow it to soften slightly before serving.

Ingredients

ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
5
banana, sliced
1
Plain Greek Yogurt
½ cup (125g)
Honey or your preferred sweetener, optional

How to make Peach Ice Cream

Arrange the fruit on a baking sheet or tray so the pieces don't stick together, then freeze until completely solid.

Transfer the frozen peaches and banana to a high-powered blender or food processor.

Blend on high speed, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides, until the fruit begins to break down into a thick, frozen purée.

Add the Greek yogurt and continue blending until the mixture becomes smooth, creamy, and completely combined. Taste and, if desired, blend in a drizzle of honey or another sweetener to suit your preference.

Serve immediately for a soft-serve consistency, or transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 30 to 60 minutes if you prefer a firmer, scoopable ice cream.

Garnish with fresh peach slices, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of honey before serving, if desired.
