Better get some peaches and stock them away in your freezer so you can make these Easy Homemade Peach Ice Cream Bars while you still can. There’s something about knowing that a certain fruit, like peaches, will only be available for a short season that makes me want to buy it all up and hoard it in my freezer. Is there a show about people who hoard food in their freezer? I don’t even want to know!
The Utah peaches we’ve been getting this year have been so sweet and juicy, and since I have been buying way more than we can eat, I’ve got a few bags of peeled sliced peaches in my freezer ready to be made into a cozy peach crisp to be enjoyed on a cold winter night. Well cold for us, think 65 degrees. They are great to have on hand for adding to smoothies or oatmeal too.
For these bars, you just make a typical graham cracker crust, and then top it with an easy, no churn homemade peach ice cream that you make in the blender. It’s so delicious and refreshing! You could also make it even easier by starting with a store-bought pie crust, and making it into an ice cream pie rather than bars.
I realize you could just buy frozen peaches and use them in place of fresh peaches that you freeze yourself, but I have not been able to find a bag of frozen peaches at the store that matches the flavor of a peach that ripened on my counter.
I served this to my family on a whim, and we all loved it so much and they all agreed that I should share it with you so here it is!

Can you make in an ice cream maker?
Julie says
I think you could, but I haven’t tried it myself. Let me know what you think!
Gabriela Salazar says
The condensed milk is very overpowering and doesn’t taste well with the peaches sadly.
