This rich and creamy no churn ice cream is studded with flecks of vanilla bean and laced with warm Bourbon, for a tempting treat that’s perfect year round!

Definitely not an ordinary vanilla ice cream… this no churn ice cream is loaded with vanilla and Bourbon flavors for a great all-weather dessert!  Soon to be a family favorite, you’ll love how easy it is to make… just 4 ingredients!

Bourbon is one of those liquors we pretty much always have on hand here in our house… J and I both like to sip Bourbon over ice to relax, it’s great to ease a sore throat, and let’s not forget these amazing recipes that use Bourbon!

Bourbon Cider Boneless Wings
Overnight Bourbon Cinnamon French Toast
Orange Bourbon Glazed Ham

Originally, I had planned to make a traditional ice cream, with my ice cream maker… but then the more I thought about it, I realized I didn’t want to make a recipe that some of you might not be able to make without purchasing a special kitchen appliance.

Enter, no churn ice cream!  Literally 4 ingredients, 10 minutes, and a little bit of patience (obviously it has to freeze)… that’s all it takes to enjoy great homemade ice cream!

This no churn ice cream is so velvety and rich… full of sweet vanilla flavor with the subtle warm kiss of the Bourbon.  I purposely didn’t add a TON of Bourbon, as I wanted it to be a rich back-note of flavor, plus alcohol doesn’t freeze, so I needed to keep the content at a perfect balance so the ice cream could solidify.

Feel free to use any Bourbon that you like here… I made this with our favorite, Woodford Reserve 🙂

I like the ice cream plain, but it’s also perfect with some salted caramel sauce drizzled decadently over the top!

Feel free to enjoy this no churn ice cream as a treat on it’s own, or alongside some of your favorite desserts.  My personal favorite choices are:

Buttermilk Chocolate Cake
White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies
Spiced Pumpkin Whoopie Pies
Butterfinger Toffee Cookies
Soft Vanilla Bean Sugar Cookies
Raspberry Cheesecake Brownies

Some Helpful Tools to Make This Recipe:

Stainless Steel Mixing Bowls – I use these bowls for just about everything, and I love the non-slip rubberized bottoms and handles!

KitchenAid Handheld Mixer – Sometimes you don’t need all the power of a stand mixer, and this reliable handmixer is ready to step in!

Ice Cream Dishes – Not a necessity, but it sure is fun to serve ice cream in these adorable dishes!

Ice Cream Scoop – No list would be complete without my favorite ice cream scoop!

    Made this base with blended pineapple, coconut cream, and (a heavy handed portion of) Jamaican rum. It came out great and smooth. Made it again with tahini without alcohol, and it was too light and close to whipped cream. Still trying to balance out the best texture for my spin off ideas.
