Sugar-Free Peach and Saffron Ice Cream – a 4-Ingredient Recipe
If you have only ever spread peach jam with saffron on bread – this recipe is an invitation to try it another way. Ice cream without an ice cream maker, with no added sugar. Just 4 ingredients and 10 minutes of prep.
The story behind this jam
The story of our peach jam with saffron began at the “Da Hvanesh Gorata” bazaar — with a lady named Nadia, from whom we buy our saffron. Yes, Bulgarian saffron.
Nadia saw our peach jam, stopped and told us that she makes peach with saffron at home. I got curious. The next day she came back — she had found one leftover jar of her homemade batch and brought it for us to try.
I couldn’t stop eating it. Such a pleasant, fresh and memorable taste — the kind that leaves its mark on your palate.
I knew we had to make it. But I had my doubts — at home it got mixed reviews, which I didn’t understand, because to me it was perfect. With saffron, it turns out, you either love it or hate it.
The jam came off the production line and went to the Interfood & Drink jury the very same day. The next day it won a gold medal.
It definitely deserves more than a slice of bread.
What makes peach jam with saffron different?
Saffron is one of the most precious spices in the world — it is harvested entirely by hand, and its taste is unlike any other. Earthy, slightly floral, with a warmth that peach can’t achieve on its own.
Our peach jam with saffron contains:
- 99% fruit — pieces of fruit, not concentrate
- 0 added sugar — sweetened only with a little stevia
- Bulgarian saffron — from a small, internationally awarded producer, Nadia's Saffron
- No preservatives, no colorings
That is exactly why it works so well in this recipe — it’s not just sweetness, but flavor and aroma.
Peach and saffron ice cream – a sugar-free recipe
| ⏱ Prep time | 10 minutes |
| ❄️ Freezing | 4 hours |
| 🍽 Servings | 6-8 |
| 🚫 Added sugar | 0 |
| 🧾 Ingredients | 4 |
Ingredients
- 400 g thick yogurt/skyr — full-fat, for a creamier texture
- 200 ml whipping cream
- 3–4 tbsp peach jam with saffron — Dimmy's Farm + extra for serving
- vanilla — optional
How to make it – step by step
Step 1: Whip the cream until stiff, with a mixer or by hand.
Step 2: Mix it with the yogurt/skyr and the vanilla — gently, with a spoon, without whisking. We want to keep the mixture as airy as possible.
Step 3: Transfer to an ice cream container or a loaf pan. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
Step 4: Before serving — a spoonful of peach jam with saffron on top.
Ta-daaa, that’s it.
Tips for a better result
- The yogurt should be cold — straight from the fridge, not at room temperature
- Don’t overmix once you have combined the cream with the yogurt — mixing knocks the air out
- For a more intense flavor — add the jam to the mixture before freezing too, not just on top
- Take it out of the freezer 5-10 minutes before serving for easier scooping.
Why is it a good fit for people who avoid sugar?
Traditional ice cream contains 20-30 g of sugar per serving. This recipe uses:
- Yogurt — a traditional taste, no added sugar
- Cream — you can choose one without sugar
- Jam sweetened only with stevia — a plant-based sweetener with a glycemic index of zero
The result is a dessert suitable for people who limit their sugar intake, are on a calorie-controlled diet, or simply avoid sugar without wanting to miss out on something delicious.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use fat-free yogurt?
You can, but the texture will be "icier" and less creamy. Full-fat yogurt gives the best result.
How long can it be kept frozen?
Up to 2 weeks in a well-sealed container.
Can I put the jam in the mixture, not just on top?
Yes — add it after mixing, swirling it in with a spoon in "ribbons" for a marbled effect.
Is this recipe suitable for children?
Absolutely. No sugar, no alcohol, no preservatives.
What is saffron, and is it safe?
Saffron is a spice obtained from the flower of Crocus sativus. It has been used in cooking for thousands of years. In small amounts — like those in the jam — it is completely safe.
Finally
Peach with saffron is a combination you either fall in love with from the first spoonful, or one that makes you come back for a second before you even know why. It rarely leaves anyone indifferent.
