Wow! This was wonderful! It was creamy and soft, but not too soft. It did freeze up nicely. I used pasturized egg substitute as a precaution and it worked beautifully. It was definately worth the work. I have not tried it, but I think you could use the ice cream base, leave out the peaches and make butter pecan ice cream out of it.
