Bacon Bourbon Peach Ice Cream takes fresh summer fruit & turns it into a gourmet ice cream you can make at home! So good it’ll make you weak in the knees!!

This ice cream is a little dream of mine.  It’s also my first homemade ice cream ever.  If I knew how easy it was, I would have stopped buying my ice cream at the store and starting creating my own fun flavors years ago!  I wanted an ice cream that had bacon in it (because bacon), but I also wanted something summery (is that a word?!)…and boozy.  Boozy treats make me smile and giggle to myself.  I threw everything together, crossed my fingers, because the ingredients make sense, but you never really know until you take a big bite.

This ice cream is amazing.  It’s super creamy with an amazing mouthfeel.  I love the bits of peaches and the salty pops of bacon.  And the whiskey?  You get this perfect hint of the whiskey.  I couldn’t have asked for a better first ice cream.  Just be sure to cook your bacon nice and crispy so it holds up during the freezing.  Hello, summer!

Ingredients

• 6 strips center-cut bacon
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
• 5 small peaches, (or 2-3 large peaches)
• 2 tablespoons bourbon

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or foil. Coat bacon strips in brown sugar on both sides and lay flat on the baking sheet.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy. Remove from the oven and transfer to a pate that's been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray to let the candied bacon set up. Once cooled, finely chop the bacon.
• While the bacon cooks, Place heavy cream in a large mixing bowl and beat on high speed until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
• Peel and pit the peaches. Cut 4 peaches into chunks and place in a food processor or blender. Dice the 5th peach and set it aside. Add the sweetened condensed milk to the peaches and puree until smooth. (Use a rubber spatula to stir things around as needed.)
• Add the peach mixture to the whipped cream and fold together until combined. Add the bourbon and 2/3 of the bacon to the ice cream base and stir to incorporate. 
• Pour the ice cream base into a 1/5 quart loaf pan. (There may be a little more base than can fit, it's happened to me before.) Sprinkle the reserved diced peach and remaining bacon on top of the ice cream base.
• Freeze for 6 to 8 hours or until set.
