FAQ:
Q: Can I use canned peaches instead of fresh?
A: Yes, but drain them well and adjust sugar if the peaches are sweetened.
Q: Do I have to use an ice cream maker?
A: No, you can pour the custard-peach mixture into a container and freeze, stirring every 30–60 minutes until smooth.
Q: Can I make this dairy-free?
A: Substitute coconut cream for heavy cream and a plant-based milk for whole milk; the texture will be slightly different but still delicious.
