A smooth and luscious no-churn ice cream featuring fresh ripe peaches and a subtle bourbon swirl, perfect for summer indulgence without the need for an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups peeled, pitted, and diced fresh peaches (about 5 medium peaches)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150g)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream (480ml), chilled
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk (about 400g)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup bourbon (60ml)
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peaches by peeling, pitting, and dicing them. Puree in a food processor or blender until mostly smooth with some small chunks. Add 1/4 cup (50g) of sugar and lemon juice to the peaches and pulse to combine. Set aside to macerate for 10 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream using an electric mixer or whisk until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. In another bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, remaining 1/2 cup (100g) sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir until sugar dissolves.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture until just combined.
  5. Fold the peach puree gently into the cream mixture until evenly swirled but not overmixed.
  6. Pour half of the bourbon into a small bowl. Drizzle half over the ice cream mixture in the freezer-safe container and swirl with a knife or skewer to create ribbons. Add the rest of the ice cream base in layers, repeating the bourbon drizzle and swirl for extra ribbons.
  7. Cover the container and freeze for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight until firm.
  8. Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften for easier scooping.

Notes

Do not overmix when folding ingredients to keep the ice cream light and creamy. Let peaches macerate to release juices and avoid icy crystals. The bourbon swirl should be gently folded in to maintain visible ribbons. Freeze for at least 6 hours for best texture. Fresh peaches are preferred but thawed frozen peaches can be used in a pinch.
