Gingersnap Peach Crumble Ice Cream
Beautifully creamy ice cream loaded with buttery gingersnaps and sweet peaches.
The gingersnap crumble is all sorts of awesome… it’s just brown butter and and gingersnap crumbs. The peach filling is easy to make, barely any sugar, just the sweetness of perfect late summer peaches to carry it. And then the no churn ice cream base, you know the drill: cream, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla. Oh yeah, and bourbon. Because with peach and ginger it just seemed right!

- 10g (~1 tablespoon) cornstarch
- 1g (1/2 teaspoon) ground cinnamon

3. Make peach filling
4. Place peaches, sugar and lemon juice in a medium pot stove with medium heat
5. Stir occasionally for several minutes until some of the fruit begins to break down and juice begins to form
6. Turn the heat to high, add cornstarch and stir quickly until sauce reaches desired thickness (1-2 minutes); stir in cinnamon
7. Place sauce in refrigerator to cool for 30 minutes
8. Once ready, finish making ice cream
9. In the large bowl of an electric mixer with whisk attachment, beat cream on high speed for several minutes, just until stiff peaks form
10. While whipping cream, in a separate large bowl, stir together sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and bourbon
11. Once cream is ready, fold it into sweetened condensed milk mixture
12. Fold in peach filling
13. Pour half of ice cream into a regular-sized loaf pan and drop one half of crumble over top; top with remaining ice cream and then with remaining crumble; wrap well with seran wrap or tin foil
14. Freeze for 6 hours or overnight
Notes:
*Can easily be adapted to be gluten-free by using gluten-free gingersnaps
Sauce and crumble can be made up to one day before putting ice cream together, refrigerate the filling in an airtight container until ready to use and store the gingersnap crumble in an airtight container at room temperature
