Sweet Melissa -- Brown Sugar Peach Ice Cream



This Sunday we made Melissa's Brown Sugar Ice Cream, and Hot Fudge Sauce. The recipes were chosen by Karen of Karen's Cookies Cakes & More.
I decided to add some peach puree to the ice cream base as I have SO much in my freezer from our peaches. It was a good addition--peaches and brown sugar go well together. The ice cream recipe was relatively easy to follow; it starts with a basic custard, using brown sugar instead of white sugar. I added the peach puree just before freezing the custard mixture.

The ice cream was delicious--a peach-caramel flavor with vanilla in the background. I made sundaes using Melissa's Hot Fudge Sauce. The sauce is really good and especially neat as there is no dairy at all, so it is suitable for vegans. In addition to hot fudge, I topped the sundaes with slivered almonds, coconut, dried cherries, and whipped cream. Dave looked as if he had died and gone to heaven after his first bite--he is a huge ice cream lover.
