Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups half n half
- 2 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 8 egg yolks
- 1 cup sugar + 2 teaspoons
- 4 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/8 teaspoon coarse salt

- 2 sugar cones crushed
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, heat half n half until steamy but not boiling, stirring frequently.

- Add half and half gradually-about 1/2 cup every 15 seconds or so.
- Return mixture to saucepan and cook over medium heat. Let mixture get hot enough for little bubbles to form around the edge and then remove. Do not boil. Stir constantly through this process.
- Transfer mixture to a large bowl and add in whipping cream, vanilla, and salt.
- Cover and chill for 2 hours.
- Assemble ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. On lowest speed, pour mixture into bowl-use a bowl with a spout to make this step easier. Churn for recommended amount according to manufacturer's instructions and add peaches during last 5 minutes of churn time. Slice peaches after starting to churn ice cream and if desired add 2 teaspoons sugar to a bowl with peaches and stir.
- Mix in crushed sugar cones.
- Serve immediately or store in airtight container in the freezer.
