Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe peaches, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100g)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (110g)
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream (480 ml), chilled
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz / 397g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (60g) for cobbler crumble
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar (55g) for cobbler crumble
  • 3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed for cobbler crumble
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon for cobbler crumble

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peach Filling: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine diced peaches, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and flour. Cook for 8-10 minutes until peaches soften and mixture thickens. Remove from heat and cool completely.
  2. Make the Cobbler Crumble: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Spread on baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through. Cool completely.
  3. Whip the Cream: Using an electric mixer, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  4. Combine Sweetened Condensed Milk and Vanilla: Gently fold condensed milk and vanilla extract into whipped cream without deflating.
  5. Fold in the Peach Filling: Add cooled peach mixture into cream and fold gently to swirl but not fully mix.
  6. Create the Brown Sugar Swirl: Heat brown sugar with 2 tablespoons water over low heat in saucepan, stirring until dissolved and slightly thickened (3-4 minutes). Cool until pourable.
  7. Layer and Swirl: In freezer-safe container, spoon half the ice cream mixture, drizzle half the brown sugar swirl, and sprinkle a third of the cobbler crumble. Repeat layers. Gently swirl with a knife or skewer for marbled effect.
  8. Freeze Overnight: Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid watery texture. Keep butter cold for crumble to ensure crisp texture. Cool peach filling and crumble completely before folding to prevent icy spots. Warm brown sugar swirl gently if it thickens too much. Let ice cream sit 5 minutes at room temperature before serving for easier scooping. For dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk and use coconut condensed milk.
