A Scoop of History: Celebrating National Peach Ice Cream Day with Local Delivery
July 17 might seem like just another summer day—but for dessert lovers, it’s a sweet excuse to indulge. That’s because it’s National Peach Ice Cream Day, a celebration of one of the most beloved fruity treats to cool off in the summer heat. Whether you’re already a fan or looking for a new go-to dessert, CravinGrub makes it easy to honor this creamy classic without leaving your couch.
Peach ice cream isn’t just a delicious flavor—it’s a nostalgic slice of Southern history. This summery dessert dates back to the early 1800s, when peaches were abundant and making ice cream was a luxury reserved for the wealthiest households. Early recipes were simple, using fresh peaches, cream, and sugar churned by hand—often taking hours to prepare.
By the mid-19th century, peach ice cream had become a summertime staple, especially in states like Georgia, South Carolina, and Texas, where peaches grew in abundance. Some historians believe that even Thomas Jefferson enjoyed fruit-based ice creams at his Monticello estate.
What started as a seasonal treat soon became a symbol of Southern hospitality and celebration. You’ll now find it served at BBQs, summer festivals, and front porches all across the South.
There’s a reason peach ice cream never went out of style. The rich, velvety cream base is the perfect partner for the sweet, tangy bite of ripe peaches. It’s a dessert that hits all the right notes—fresh, familiar, and just indulgent enough.
Beyond flavor, peach ice cream is also tied to memories. Maybe it reminds you of stopping at a roadside stand after a road trip, or sharing a cone with family at a summer picnic. It’s one of those rare desserts that feels like home in every bite.
We get it—not every local restaurant has peach ice cream in stock year-round. But that doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate. CravinGrub partners with local restaurants and dessert spots that offer seasonal fruit-based desserts, summer shakes, and cobblers that give you the same warm-weather sweetness.
