How to Make Peach Amaretti Ice Cream

  1. In a medium saucepan, heat 2 cups heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large egg yolks and ¾ cup granulated sugar until pale and thick.
  3. Slowly temper the hot cream into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
  4. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan.
  5. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 6-8 minutes). Do not boil.
  6. Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a metal bowl. This removes any lumps.
  7. Place the bowl of custard into a larger bowl filled with ice water; stir occasionally to cool completely.
  8. While the custard cools, puree 2 ½ cups fresh, ripe peaches in a food processor until completely smooth.
  9. Gently fold in 2 cups of the peach puree and 2 tablespoons of orange juice into the cooled custard.
  10. Churn the custard base in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions, until it is almost set.
  11. Add ¼ cup Amaretto liqueur and ⅓ cup finely crushed amaretti biscuits. Continue churning until the ice cream is fully set.
  12. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and harden in the freezer for at least 4 hours before serving. Enjoy!
