I love dreaming up new no-bake treats. In the summer, it’s even more fun with so many delicious classic flavor combinations to play with. I’ve made creamsicle dream bars that taste just like the ice cream truck treat, a Key lime icebox cake that rivals the classic pie, and a coconut mousse that will transport you to the tropics. The easy dessert I can’t wait to share this year is a cool and creamy freeze bar featuring my favorite summer fruit—peaches.
My peaches and cream freeze bars start with a simple no-bake crumb crust made from vanilla wafer cookies. The filling is an easy no-churn ice cream that just has fresh or frozen peaches, sweetened condensed milk, and heavy cream. Make these bars now, so that they’re ready to serve at a moment’s notice.
Why You’ll Love It
- Nothing says summer like peaches and cream. If you love the classic combination of peaches and cream, then get your freezer ready for these no-bake bars.
- They’re oh-so-easy to make. You can whip up these fruity freeze bars with just six ingredients (plus salt), and there’s no ice cream maker required.
Key Ingredients in Peaches and Cream Freeze Bars
- Peaches: Using either fresh or frozen peaches is easy. There is no need to peel fresh peaches or thaw frozen peaches before starting.
- Sweetened condensed milk: This canned milk product is thick, rich, and sweet. Just don’t mistake it for evaporated milk, which is unsweetened.
- Heavy cream: Use your food processor to make a stable whipped cream.
- Vanilla wafers: You’ll need about 50 vanilla wafer cookies to make the crumb crust for this dessert.
