Substitutions and Variations
Use fresh peaches: Substitute fresh ripe peaches when they’re in season. If using fresh peaches, you’ll want to peel them and remove the pit before adding.
Try a different booze: Swap bourbon for rum, brandy or amaretto.
Make it alcohol-free: Omit bourbon and add vanilla extract instead, for a kid-friendly version.
Alcohol-free: Use alcohol-free bourbon flavoring instead. You should only need a few drops. Read the label because some bourbon extracts contain real bourbon while others just have the flavorings.
More peaches or bourbon: You can add more peaches and even more bourbon, if you want. Just be careful to not add too much, as you don’t want to make the mixture too watery. It won’t freeze well this way.

Top Tips
Chill your tools: Cold bowls and beaters help the cream whip faster.
Don’t overmix: Stop whipping this boozy peach dessert once it holds soft peaks, to keep the texture light. Don’t keep whipping it to the stiff peaks stage, as you only want to thicken it up.
Use a metal pan: It helps the ice cream freeze faster and makes scooping easier.
Easy serving: It’s easier to scoop this ice cream if you let it sit out for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
