Roasted Peach Ice Cream

Posted by Chantel M. recipe contributed by the ice cream maker (Source)

This recipe boosts the flavor of firm-fleshed fruit by roasting them first. We use peaches here, but you could try the same technique with apricots, nectarines or plums.

Ingredients:

4 C peaches, washed, pitted and cut in pieces
1 Tbs oil
1 C soy milk
½ C Demerara sugar (light brown sugar)
1 tsp vanilla
2 tsp Bourbon or rum (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 400F (200C).
   
   
2. Spread the peaches evenly in a shallow pan and drizzle them with the oil, then mix so pieces are evenly coated.
   
   
3. Spread in single layer and roast in oven until very soft, about 30 minutes.
   
   
4. Heat the soy milk and sugar until melted.
   
   
5. Add peaches to soy milk and allow to cool.
   
   
6. Once cool, blend the mixture in a food processor until smooth, or, if you prefer small pieces of fruit in your ice cream, until only small pieces remain.
   
   
7. Mix in vanilla and Bourbon.
   
   
8. Pour into ice cream maker.
