Sweeteners and Seasonings:
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Transform ripe peaches into a velvety puree by blending with a splash of bright lemon juice until completely smooth and uniform.

- Chill all ingredients beforehand to help the ice cream freeze faster and develop a smoother texture.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute coconut cream and almond milk for the heavy cream and whole milk.
- Add a splash of bourbon or rum to enhance the peach flavor and create a more complex taste experience.
