Peach-nutmeg frozen yogurt

Bowl of peach nutmeg frozen yogurt.

Peach season is something I look forward to every summer. It's a bittersweet time of year because I know it means the end of the summer is coming, but there's so much wonderful produce.

My husband works up in peach farm country and we always end up with a lot of them once their peak hits this time of year. We eat them as much as we can, but some of them end up needing to be sacrificed into a dessert or two.... 

Since I've been absolutely loving making ice cream this summer, I thought I would make a peach one. Then I decided to give my first frozen yogurt a try. I absolutely loved this yogurt. 

The peaches were very ripe and since they were in season, they were so flavorful - which made the yogurt incredibly peachy. I added some nutmeg to give the yogurt a little more depth of flavor. The yogurt was very creamy and slightly tangy - making this dessert very palate pleasing all around.

If you find yourself with a couple extra peaches, please try out this recipe. It will make about 1 quart of frozen yogurt.  


Peach-nutmeg frozen yogurt
2-1/2 cups peeled and diced fresh peaches (about 2-3 peaches)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
pinch of fine sea salt
1-3/4 cup plain whole milk yogurt
1/4 cup whole milk

Combine the peaches, sugar, nutmeg, and salt in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook for about 10 minutes, until the peaches are softened and the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from the heat and let cool.

Combine the yogurt and milk in a metal bowl. When the peaches have cooled, stir them into the yogurt. Cover the bowl and refrigerate until very cold, at least 4-5 hours. Then churn and freeze in your ice cream maker according to directions. You can eat it right away (it will be like soft serve), or transfer to a freezer container to harden for a few hours.

  3. Nutmeg sounds like a really interesting addition. My ice cream maker hasn't actually come out this summer although you keep tempting me...

  5. Peach and yoghurt is by far my most favorite yoghurt flavor.. They hadn't made nutella and yoghurt work, till then, peach yoghurt is still my fav! If only I had an ice cream machine.. (i'd gain 10 pounds but wouldn't mind)

  8. I can't restrain myself when it's peach season either - I had a massive peach from the farmers' market near my work for lunch today! I've saved this recipe, too... yum.

  9. Oooooh, I didn't even know peaches were in season this time of year! This looks great... do you think I could get away with using skim milk though? MMMMMM :)

    1. You could try (at least for the small amount of milk that's in this). I wouldn't use low-fat yogurt though unless it's really thick. It may not set-up well and won't be as creamy in texture - it may form more ice crytals (plus some good dairy fat is good for you :-)

  10. Lucky you, living in peach territory. They tend to come to Ireland unripe and rarely fulfil their sweet juicy potential. I'm going to try your lovely icecream as cooking should coax the flavour from less-than-perfect specimens and I love the touch of nutmeg.

  19. i usually don't give spices other than cinnamon a chance, but i can see how a little nutmeg would perfectly complement those luscious peaches!

  20. Amy...of all the peach desserts I've had this summer, I've yet to have peach ice cream! I love that you added the unexpected nutmeg for depth of flavor! This looks luscious! : )
