Planning Ahead
You can make this ice cream on the same day, but preparing this, or any fruit ice cream, a day ahead is a great idea. Preparing it the day before can enhance the flavor of the ice cream.
If you are making the custard style, the texture of the ice cream can also be improved by preparing a day ahead.
Improved Flavor
For most fruit ice cream, it is best to mix the fruit with sugar and allow it to sit.
As the fruit and sugar chill together in the fridge, they form a fruit syrup.
The fruit and sugar should sit for at least 2 hours, but if you allow it to sit for 12 – 24 hours, the fruity flavor will be enhanced.
It’s a good idea to prepare your fruit the day before.
Improved Texture
Making custard ice cream requires heating up the ice cream base. The ice cream base has to be cooled before processed in the ice cream maker.
You can cool the ice cream base in the fridge for about 3 hours and it should be sufficiently cooled. Cooling the ice cream overnight will ensure that it has indeed been thoroughly and evenly cooled.
Making the ice cream base of custard style ice cream the day before is a good idea.
Serving Tip
Serve this fruit ice cream with fresh peach slices! Top with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle just a little bit of cinnamon sugar on top!
