Shared aroma: delta-dodecalactone (sweet, creamy).
Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs
What each ingredient does
- Cream
- Provides fat and richness, which gives the ice cream a smooth, creamy texture.
- Peaches
- Add fruit flavor and sweetness, and their pieces give the ice cream texture.
The step that matters
Adding the peaches. Add the peaches when the mixture is only partly frozen. If it is fully frozen, the peaches will not fold in evenly. If it is still liquid, the pieces sink and settle unevenly. A partly frozen base holds the fruit in place.
