Why You’ll Love This Recipe
And so my Ninja Creami addiction continues. While I’ve already shared a recipe for ultra-refreshing, 2-ingredient Ninja Creami peach sorbet, having also made Ninja Creami vegan mango ice cream, I knew I wanted to try the latter with the juicy peaches filling my kitchen. This Ninja Creami peach ice cream recipe is the result!
Best of all, this homemade vegan peach ice cream uses only 4 ingredients (including fresh, frozen, or canned peaches!), using a method that’s so simple it’s barely a recipe. Simply blend, freeze, process, and enjoy super creamy, scoopable vegan ice cream.

Recipe Variations and Add-Ins

How to Make Vegan Peach Ice Cream (Ninja Creami)
Step 1: Chop the peaches into chunks, then blend all the ingredients (peaches, heavy vegan whipping cream, condensed vegan milk, and vanilla) in a high-speed blender until completely smooth.
Step 2: Pour the vegan peach ice cream mix into the Ninja Creami pint jar (don’t exceed the Max Fill line), add the lid, and freeze on a flat surface for 24 hours.
Step 3: Remove the lid and insert the pint jar into the outer bowl of the Ninja Creami, then lock it in place. Process using the ‘ICE CREAM’ setting. Serve the Ninja Creami peach ice cream immediately, or re-freeze for 30-60 minutes with the lid on for a firmer consistency. Enjoy!

If it’s crumbly, add 1-2 tablespoon vegan milk/cream and ‘RE-SPIN’ until creamy.
To add mix-ins: Create a well in the center of the vegan ice cream, add the mix-ins (peaches, nuts, coconut flakes, vegan chocolate chips, etc.), and press ‘MIX-INS.’
FAQs
I usually don’t, as they’re imperceptible when blended (and add color). If you prefer peeled peaches, score the base with an X, blanch for 40 seconds, then cool in an ice bath for a few minutes before peeling.
Yes – just let them thaw first and drain any excess liquid.
Use a regular ice cream maker, or freeze it in a loaf pan/silicone mold, stirring every 30 minutes for the first 2-3 hours to ensure a creamy, scoopable consistency. Soften for 10 minutes before scooping.
Pro Recipe Tips
- Use ripe peaches: The ripest, sweetest peaches make the most flavorful homemade peach ice cream. Don’t miss flavor by using under-ripe fruit.
- Don’t overfill: Don’t exceed the maximum fill line, as it can affect blending and cause machine strain.
- Freeze flat: So it stays beneath the fill line, to blend evenly.
- Re-spin if needed: If it’s crumbly after the first spin, add a splash of plant-based milk/cream (1-2 tbsp) and ‘RE-SPIN’. Repeat if needed.
Serving Suggestions
Enjoy creamy vegan peach ice cream alone or with:
- Sauces (like raspberry or strawberry sauce, cherry or peach compote, etc.)
- For crunch (toasted nuts or coconut flakes, crushed vegancookies, granola, or even baked oat crumble/streusel – similar to in this easy peach crisp/ cobbler, etc.).
- Vegan chocolate (Use vegan chips, chunks, or chocolate shavings)
- Fresh herbs (like fresh mint leaves or basil)
- Fresh fruit (like diced peaches, berries, or even cherries)
You can also enjoy it in a vegan sundae or milkshake, or over cakes and brownies, etc.
Storage Instructions
Level the surface, add the lid, and freeze for up to 3 weeks.
To enjoy it, let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes, then re-process using the ‘ICE CREAM’ setting.
