A quick and easy no-churn ice cream recipe combining fresh peaches and bourbon for a creamy, boozy summer dessert without the need for an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium fresh peaches, peeled and diced
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150g), divided
  • 2 cups heavy cream (480ml)
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz / 396g)
  • 3 tablespoons bourbon (45ml)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice about 3 medium peaches, removing the pits. For a smoother texture, pulse them a few times in a blender or food processor until semi-pureed but still chunky. (Approx. 5 minutes)
  2. In a bowl, combine the peaches with 1/2 cup (100g) of the granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. Let sit for about 10 minutes to macerate.
  3. In a chilled mixing bowl, whip 2 cups (480ml) of heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form (3-5 minutes).
  4. In a separate large bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk, 3 tablespoons (45ml) bourbon, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, remaining 1/4 cup (50g) sugar, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture without deflating the cream. Then fold in the macerated peaches with their juices until evenly combined. (Approx. 5 minutes)
  6. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container, smooth the top, cover tightly, and freeze for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight. No churning needed!
  7. Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes for easier scooping. Optionally garnish with fresh peach slices or bourbon syrup.

Notes

Chill your mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream to speed the process. To avoid ice crystals, stir the ice cream once or twice during freezing. For dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk and use dairy-free condensed milk. Let ice cream soften 5 minutes before scooping for best texture.
