    Vegan Peach Ice Cream with Lemon Thyme

    Vegan peach ice cream scented with lemon thyme, sugar & dairy free. It can be easily prepared without an ice cream maker, as well.

    Homemade ice cream because… we are burning in Greece these days! The heat wave is phenomenal!  Actually it’s a vegan peach ice cream, flavored with lemon thyme; easy and quick, but mostly without any guilty ingredients. In texture it resembles a sorbet, but contains almond mylk, so you cannot name it as one.

    Nice Cream

    In recent years, all these homemade, healthy ice creams, without dairy, eggs, etc., have gained the interest of many. Maybe, because nice creams, in addition to being healthy and delicious, they are very easy to prepare. With only two or three ingredients you have a delicious ice cream, to enjoy with your loved ones. Usually, you can serve them right away (they have a softer texture), or, you can freeze them if you want a firmer ice cream.

    For so many years, I made all the ice cream without an ice cream machine, which is not very difficult. You just need to spend a little more time. This year I used an ice cream machine for the first time. Surely it’s a convenience, the texture of the ice cream is much better and, of course, it doesn’t need much of your time. However, have in mind that you can make this vegan peach ice cream without an ice cream machine.

    I used honey as a sweetener, but if you are vegan you can replace it with maple syrup.  You know it already, I guess  😉

    The process is very simple: simmer the fruit for a while with the honey and the lemon thyme, puree them together with the almond drink, freeze the mixture a while and finally, put it in the ice cream machine. If you do not have an ice cream machine, you should stir the mixture for the first hours every 30 minutes or so, with a fork, so that it does not make any crystalls.

    Transfer the mixture to the bucket of the ice cream machine and work it for about 40 minutes. You can serve immediately as a soft-serve ice cream, or you can transfer it to a container with a lid and put it in the freezer, for a firmer version.
