My Ice Cream is very hard

I regularly make Chocolate Ice Cream with no problems - I can spoon it our right from the freezer.

This time, I decided to make Peach Ice Cream with canned peaches and my ice cream came out very hard. I had to wait a few minutes before I could spoon it out

Any idea what I did wrong ?

Many thanks for your help

The chocolate has more fat and less liquid (water) than the peach---so it froze harder---

Simple science---food science---this is one reason store bought peach ice cream is rare --

To keep it creamy--serve it fresh--or let it soften up a bit.

Eliminating low fat dairy would help--use heavy cream.
