A luscious no-churn ice cream featuring fresh peaches and a boozy bourbon caramel swirl, perfect for summer treats without the need for an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium fresh peaches, peeled and diced
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (divided)
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (for caramel sauce)
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice about 4 medium peaches. Toss with 1/4 cup granulated sugar and set aside for 15-20 minutes to macerate.
  2. Transfer peaches with juices to a food processor or blender. Pulse until smooth with some small chunks remaining. Set aside to cool.
  3. Chill a large mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge for 10 minutes. Beat 2 cups heavy whipping cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
  4. In another bowl, mix 1 can sweetened condensed milk with 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Gently fold in whipped cream using a rubber spatula.
  5. Fold the peach puree into the cream mixture until just combined.
  6. In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir in 1/2 cup packed brown sugar and a pinch of salt. Cook for 3-4 minutes until bubbly and smooth.
  7. Remove from heat and whisk in 2 tablespoons bourbon and 1/4 cup heavy cream. Let cool slightly.
  8. Pour half of the peach ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe container. Drizzle half of the bourbon caramel over it and swirl gently with a knife or skewer.
  9. Repeat layering with remaining ice cream mixture and caramel. Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.

Notes

Chill bowl and beaters before whipping cream for best volume. Score peaches and blanch to peel easily. Do not overmix caramel swirl to keep ribbons distinct. Drain very juicy peaches before pureeing to avoid icy crystals. Freeze overnight for best texture.
