A luscious, creamy peach ice cream made without an ice cream maker, featuring fresh peaches and a subtle bourbon swirl for a refreshing summer dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) cold heavy whipping cream
  • 1 (14-ounce) can (396 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 3 large fresh peaches, peeled and diced
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) bourbon
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons (25 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prep the Peaches (10 minutes): In a medium bowl, toss diced peaches with granulated sugar and lemon juice. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to macerate.
  2. Whip the Cream (5-7 minutes): Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, whip the cold heavy cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form.
  3. Combine Sweetened Condensed Milk and Vanilla: Gently fold the condensed milk and vanilla extract into the whipped cream using a spatula.
  4. Add Bourbon and Peaches: Fold in the bourbon and the macerated peaches along with their juices, reserving a few spoonfuls of peaches for swirling.
  5. Create the Bourbon Swirl (2 minutes): Pour half of the ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe container. Spoon the reserved peaches and a little extra bourbon over this layer. Add the remaining ice cream mixture on top, then swirl gently with a butter knife or skewer.
  6. Freeze (at least 6 hours): Cover the container tightly and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm and scoopable.
  7. Serve: Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping.

Notes

Whip cream to soft peaks to avoid grainy texture. Fold ingredients gently to keep air in the mixture. Adjust bourbon amount to control softness of ice cream. Let ice cream soften 5 minutes before serving for best texture. Store tightly covered in freezer up to 2 weeks. For dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with chilled coconut cream and sweetened condensed coconut milk.
