Recommended Season: Summer for the freshest peaches and an uplifting treat

Ingredients

2 cups ripe peaches, peeled and diced 🍑
1 cup heavy cream 🥛
1/2 cup rolled oats (for a smoother texture, grind them slightly) 🌾
3/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on the sweetness of the peaches) 🍬
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌿
A pinch of salt to enhance flavors 🧂

Directions

Prep the Peaches: Begin by peeling and dicing your peaches. For an extra smooth gelato, consider pureeing the peaches until smooth.
Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Incorporate Oats: Gently fold in the rolled oats (or oat powder for a smoother texture) and the diced (or pureed) peaches.
Chill the Mixture: Transfer the mixture to a container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
Prepare Your Ninja Creami: Following your machine’s instructions, pour the chilled mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container.
Freeze Solid: Place the pint container in your freezer and freeze until solid, ideally for 24 hours.
Gelato Time: Insert the frozen pint into your Ninja Creami machine. Select the ‘Gelato’ setting and start the machine.
Consistency Check: After the cycle is complete, check the consistency. If you prefer a softer texture, run the machine for an additional cycle.
Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Peaches and Cream Oatmeal Gelato immediately for the best texture, or transfer it to a freezer-safe container for later indulgence.
Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh peach slices or a sprinkle of oat crumbles before serving. Perfect as a stand-alone treat or as an accompaniment to warm peach cobbler.

Tips for the Creamiest Peaches and Cream Oatmeal Gelato in Your Ninja Creami

Use ripe, fragrant peaches that give a little when pressed. Hard peaches taste bland once frozen. In winter, thawed frozen peach slices work well too.
Puree at least half of the peaches. Big chunks of raw peach freeze icy, while puree spreads the flavor through every bite.
Grind the rolled oats into a fine powder in a blender. Whole oats can feel chewy and gritty in a frozen dessert, but oat powder adds a soft, cookie-like body.
Let the oats soak in the cream for the full 2 hour chill. They absorb some liquid and thicken the base, which helps the gelato spin smooth.
Adjust the sugar to your fruit. Very sweet peaches may need only 1/2 cup (100 g), but keep some sugar in, since it helps the gelato stay scoopable.
Fold in a few small diced peaches or a crumble of oat cookie with the MIX-IN setting after spinning for a peach cobbler feel.

Troubleshooting

Gritty texture: The oats were not ground fine enough. Blend them to a flour, or strain the base after chilling if you want it extra silky.
Icy streaks: Fresh peaches hold a lot of water. Pat diced pieces dry, or cook the puree for 5 minutes to thicken it, then cool before freezing.
Powdery first spin: Add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of heavy cream or milk and press RE-SPIN.
Peach flavor too faint: Add a squeeze of lemon juice and a tiny pinch of cinnamon. Both make the peach taste brighter and warmer.

Storage and Serving

Keep leftover gelato in the pint with a flat top and the lid on. It is best within 1 week, before the peach pieces start to turn icy. Run a quick RE-SPIN before serving again to bring back the creamy texture.

This gelato works almost like a frozen breakfast treat. Serve it with a sprinkle of toasted oats and brown sugar, a few fresh peach slices, or next to a warm slice of peach pie.

Peaches and Cream Oatmeal Gelato FAQ

Can I use canned peaches?

Yes. Drain canned peaches well and pat them dry. Canned peaches in syrup are already sweet, so reduce the sugar by about 1/4 cup (50 g) for your Ninja Creami Peaches and Cream Oatmeal Gelato.

Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats?

Quick oats work fine and are easier to grind. Do not use steel cut oats, because they stay hard and chewy.

Can I make it lighter?

You can swap half of the heavy cream for whole milk. The gelato will be a little less rich and may need an extra RE-SPIN.

Which setting should I use?

Use the GELATO setting if your machine has it, or ICE CREAM if it does not.

Once peach season arrives, this Ninja Creami Peaches and Cream Oatmeal Gelato is a cozy way to enjoy the fruit at its best.
