A quick and easy no-churn ice cream recipe featuring roasted peaches and a warm bourbon flavor, perfect for summer gatherings and a grown-up twist on a classic treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 2 cups cold heavy cream
  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss sliced peaches with brown sugar and lemon juice, spread on a baking sheet, and roast for 15-20 minutes until soft and caramelized. Let cool completely.
  2. Pour cold heavy cream into a chilled bowl and beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes. Do not overbeat.
  3. In another bowl, stir together sweetened condensed milk, bourbon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until combined.
  4. Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture to lighten it.
  5. Fold in the roasted peaches with their juices and then fold in the remaining whipped cream gently to keep the mixture light and airy.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container, cover tightly, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm but scoopable.
  7. Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes for easier scooping.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushy texture. Roasting peaches caramelizes sugars and reduces moisture for better texture. Whip cream to soft peaks only to avoid grainy texture. Fold ingredients gently to keep ice cream light and airy. Let ice cream soften before serving for best scoopability. For dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use dairy-free condensed milk. For less boozy flavor, reduce or omit bourbon.
