Tuesdays with Dorie - Honey Peach Ice Cream

Would you believe me if I told you I made the wrong recipe for this week?

Ugh. I did. I have been out of town a lot this last month, most recently in Oceanside, California...and well I returned thinking this week's recipe was the dacquoise. Funny, right? I'd say so... I seriously realized that this week's recipe was Honey Peach Ice Cream after midnight last night. Thankfully ice cream doesn't require a lot of work and thankfully I had all the ingredients besides the peaches on hand.

Probably the best news about this week's recipe being the Honey Peach Ice Cream (besides the fact that it was absolutely delicious) is that I bought myself an ice cream maker!!! For the last year I have been borrowing this one...and though I loved it, it was time to get my own. I purchased the Cuisinart Supreme™ Commercial Quality Ice Cream Maker ICE-50BC. I did all my research and found that this was the one for me. I was already spoiled with the Lello because it did the freezing as well and produced some of the best homemade ice cream I've ever eaten.

Tommi at Brown Interior chose the Honey Peach Ice Cream recipe for this week. I was very happy the my results. I used a very dark honey and regular California peaches. I must admit I added a full tablespoon of Mexican Vanilla. And oh, I did not like taking the time to cut the peaches up...boo. All in all I would make this again, but I know that I won't be anytime soon cause I have a gazillion new ice cream recipes to try out from The Perfect Scoop cookbook.

Be sure to check out the other Tuesday with Dorie baker's blogs.
