PRALINE AND PEACH ICE CREAM

Prep Time: 1½ Hours
Yields: 2-3 Quarts

Comment:
Peaches are plentiful in early summer and are often eaten on ice cream. By combining the traditional Louisiana dessert, pralines, with fresh Ruston peaches, an ice cream flavor like no other is created.

Ingredients:
3 cups fresh peaches
3 cups milk
1½ cups sugar
2 tbsps lemon juice
½ cup praline liqueur or Frangelico
3 eggs
3 cups heavy whipping cream
pinch of cinnamon
pinch of nutmeg

Method:
In a food processor, combine peaches, 1 cup milk, 1 cup sugar, lemon juice and liqueur. Blend until puréed. In a large mixing bowl, combine peach mixture, 2 cups milk, ½ cup sugar, eggs and whipping cream. Whisk until smooth. Add cinnamon and nutmeg. Place mixture in a 4-quart home- style ice cream freezer and follow manufacturer's directions. For best results, place frozen ice cream in home freezer 2-3 hours before serving.
