Silky, boozy, and deeply caramelized, this Bourbon Barrel Ice Cream blends dairy, a splash of bourbon and Rustic Oak’s barrel-aged cocktail mixer for a luxuriously rich frozen dessert with warm spices and charred oak notes. Churned until perfectly scoopable and finished with a Luxardo-style cherry, it’s the easiest way to turn cocktail flavors into a spoonable treat.
Servings: 4.
Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Churn Time: 15 - 20 Minutes
Freezer Time: 4 Hours
Total Time: 4 Hours, 30 Minutes
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 ½ Cups heavy cream
- 1 ½ Cups whole milk
- ¾ Cup granulated sugar
- ¼ Teaspoon salt
- 2 Tablespoons bourbon
- 1 Tablespoon Rustic Oak Barrel Aged Cocktail Mixer
- Luxardo-Style Maraschino Cherries for garnish (link to recipe)
DIRECTIONS:
- Add the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, salt, bourbon and cocktail mixer to a large bowl. Whisk until thoroughly combined and the sugar has dissolved.
- Pour into an ice cream maker and churn for 15 to 20 minutes. Note that the addition of alcohol will slow down the freezing process so you may need to churn a few minutes longer than usual. *
- Once churned, transfer to a freezer container and freeze for about 4 hours to fully set. Serve with a Luxardo-style cherry on top.
- If your ice cream maker requires you to pre-freeze the bowl, allow the bowl to sit in the freezer for a full 24 hours for the best results. The ice-cream maker we used was a standard 1.5-quart size.
