PEACHY KEEN ICE CREAM

Steps:

• 1. Peel, pit and slice peaches, reserving peels and pits. Combine the peach slices, lemon juice and 1/4 cup sugar, then set aside.
• 2. In a saucepan, combine the milk, cream, remaining sugar, vanilla and peach peels and pits; cook, stirring, over medium heat for 10 minutes. Do not boil. Remove from heat.
• 3. Place yolks in a bowl and, whisking constantly, pour in 1 cup of the hot-milk mixture; continue whisking until smooth.
• 4. Slowly pour the egg mixture back into the hot-milk mixture in the saucepan, whisking constantly until smooth. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture constantly until it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon (6 to 8 minutes). The mixture should never boil.
• 5. Cool to room temperature and then strain into a bowl.
• 6. Puree the reserved peaches in a food processor until smooth. Stir into the milk mixture and freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

PEACHY SOY ICE CREAM

Steps:

• If using a whole vanilla bean, split it down the sides and halve it lengthwise. Scrape out the insides and use the inner vanilla bean scrapings for flavoring (Do not use the bean casing).
• Blend all the ingredients together in a blender until smooth and creamy (see notes about peaches and sugar).
• Freeze according to your ice cream maker instructions.
• NOTES: If you prefer chunks of peaches, chop the peaches separately and fold into the soymilk mixture just before freezing. I chopped about 1/3 cup and put the rest in the blender and it gave it a delicious flavor.
• If you use the vanilla soy milk, you will probably want to use significantly less than 1 cup of sugar. I used 1/2 cup and it was perfect. I would recommend starting with 1/2 cup whichever soy milk you use and adding more as you deem necessary.
