This no-churn peach bourbon ice cream is a simple, elegant dessert that requires no ice cream maker. Ripe peaches are macerated in bourbon and brown sugar, then folded into a creamy, boozy base for a sophisticated, crowd-pleasing treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (about 2–3 large) ripe peaches, peeled and diced
  • 3 tablespoons bourbon (for maceration)
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (1 pint) heavy cream, cold
  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup bourbon (for base)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Macerate the Peaches: In a medium bowl, combine the diced peaches, 3 tablespoons bourbon, brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir gently to coat. Let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  2. Whip the Cream: Pour the cold heavy cream into a large chilled mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer on medium-high speed, whip until stiff peaks form.
  3. Make the Base: In a separate large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, remaining 1/4 cup bourbon, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and pinch of salt until smooth.
  4. Fold the Cream: Gently fold about one-third of the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture to lighten it. Then add the remaining whipped cream and fold gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in the Peaches: Drain the macerated peaches, reserving about 2 tablespoons of the syrup. Gently fold the drained peaches and reserved syrup into the ice cream base.
  6. Transfer and Freeze: Pour the mixture into a 9×5-inch loaf pan or 2-quart freezer-safe container. Smooth the top. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface, then cover with another layer of plastic wrap or a lid. Freeze for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.

Notes

For best texture, let the ice cream soften at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before scooping. The maceration step is crucial for flavor and texture. Use a bourbon you enjoy drinking. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute with strong black tea or apple cider.
