Ingredients:
2 pounds ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and chopped 
1 cup granulated sugar 
1 pint half-and-half cream 
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (12 oz.) can evaporated milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 
2 cups whole milk (adjust as needed)
Directions:
Prepare the Peaches:
Dice the peaches and mix them with the granulated sugar in a bowl. Allow the mixture to sit for about 20 minutes to macerate, releasing the natural juices.
Combine the Creamy Base:
In a large mixing bowl, blend the half-and-half cream, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gently fold in the peach and sugar mixture, ensuring the peaches are evenly distributed.
Prepare the Freezer Container:
Pour the peach mixture into your ice cream maker’s freezer container. Add enough whole milk to reach the fill line, typically about 2 cups.
Freeze the Ice Cream:
Follow your ice cream maker’s instructions to churn and freeze the mixture. This process usually takes 20-30 minutes. 
Tips for Perfect Hardening:
Pre-chill the freezer container before adding the mixture to help the ice cream harden faster. Once churned, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours for a firmer texture. 
Variations:
Experiment with other fruits like strawberries, blackberries, bananas, raspberries, or blueberries for delightful variations. Enjoy your homemade gourmet ice cream!
