5 easy ingredients and 5 minutes of prep work with a hand mixer make an extremely soft and creamy bourbon ice cream with dark brown sugar and infused with bourbon. It's the perfect summer treat, sprinkled with your favorite toppings. The bourbon helps keep the ice cream very soft {because the liquor doesn't entirely freeze} straight out of the freezer for immediate snacking. No waiting needed!

Best Booze-y Ice Cream Ever!
After the No-Churn Chocolate Chip Ice Cream went over so big earlier this year, I decided that I may need to have more ice cream ready for when my family comes back into town for a quick stop-over {plus, it's kinda this thing called National Ice Cream Month coming up, so these no-churn ice cream recipes are pretty legit}.
When my parents come in to town, the time spent with them usually involves grilled foods, yummy snacks, and booze {the actual order of events goes like... booze, then snacks, then "hey, I'm still hungry, y'all wanna grill?"}.
Bourbon in Ice Cream?
So I decided, why not combine a couple of those things and streamline the day?!?
So I made this creamy Bourbon and Brown Sugar Ice Cream and topped it with pecans (I've also topped it with peanuts and walnuts before too!)
What's better than snacks and booze?
So some of y'all are putting up red flags right now because of the booze. I hear the flags flapping in the wind already. Stop and put your flags down for a sec and let me explain.
For starters, there is only a shot and a half of liquor in the entire recipe that will feed 6-8 people. Secondly, the booze is a major flavor factor here.
The bourbon cuts some of the sweetness out and replaces it with a warm, mellowed vibe.
It also keeps this no-churn ice cream very creamy and soft, because like I said before, the liquor doesn't exactly freeze all the way.

Hi, That looks very good . I want to try it . haha
Glad that it looks enticing! Hopefully you will get the chance to try it out 🙂
I want to try the roasted peanut honey flavor
Oh they are really good. You should definitely try them!
the almond crunch roasted nut looks awesome!
agreed Julie!
Oh wow!!
This looks so good!! and no churn is even better! 🙂
Yes, we have a little kitchen with little cabinet space, so we don't have room to fit in an ice cream maker. No-churn is our only choice, and I am okay with that! This ice cream is my fav of all time! 🙂
Love this!! I love making ice cream at home too ... 🙂 and the combination of bourbon and brown sugar sounds perfect!!
Oh, the combination is amazing! There are no words spoken when my fam scarfs this ice cream down, just heavy breathing and scraping noises from the spoon scrapping the sides of the bowls! 🙂
Look so yummy wants some now but I can't trying shed these pounds.
I agree with ya dear, this isn't the recipe to be trying when you are trying to loose weight, but maybe it would be a good "cheat day" snack if your weight loss program allows for those 🙂
Yum! This looks absolutely amazing! Definitely need to try it! I've been meaning to try making my own ice cream for a while now!
Making your own no-churn ice cream is so surprisingly easy Michelle! I hope you like your results! We now eat only our own homemade ice cream. No store bought ice cream for our little family anymore 🙂
Looks delish! Love that you don't need an ice cream maker!
That's right Carol! One less thing to store in those kitchen cupboards, which is a really good thing in our small kitchen 🙂
Oh wow! That looks so good! My mouth is watering!
It was definitely a fav in our house! 🙂
I will love to try Salted Caramel Peanut Nut Crisp Bars.
I haven't tried those yet, but they re on my list to try too!
WOWZERS..that looks amazing!
Oh! It is sooooo good! It's by far my favorite ice cream of all time!
