A smooth, creamy no-churn ice cream bursting with ripe peaches and a subtle bourbon warmth, perfect for summer indulgence without the need for an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and diced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (15 ml)
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream (480 ml), chilled
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk (about 395 grams)
  • 3 tablespoons bourbon (45 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5 ml)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine diced peaches, 1/4 cup sugar (50 grams), and lemon juice in a bowl. Stir gently and let sit for 15-20 minutes to macerate.
  2. Gently stir in bourbon and vanilla extract into the peach mixture. Set aside.
  3. In a large chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. In another bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk with the peach mixture and stir until well blended.
  5. Carefully fold about one-third of the whipped cream into the peach mixture to lighten it, then fold in the remaining cream gently until just combined.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container, smooth the top with a spatula, cover tightly, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
  7. Remove from freezer 5-10 minutes before serving to soften slightly for easier scooping.

Notes

If peaches are very juicy, drain excess liquid after macerating to avoid icy crystals. Fold whipped cream gently to maintain airy texture. For non-alcoholic version, replace bourbon with bourbon-flavored vanilla extract or extra vanilla extract. Chilling bowl and beaters before whipping cream helps achieve perfect soft peaks.
