Notes
Leave the peach skins on for deeper flavor (strain for smooth texture).
Frozen peaches work if fresh aren’t available.
Sweeteners like honey or maple syrup can be substituted but may affect firmness.
Add a splash of vodka to reduce iciness and enhance scoopability.
Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.
