Drunken Peeps Ice Cream
on Apr 16, 2019 • Updated Apr 06, 2023
Summertime is almost here and nothing says summer like homemade ice cream. If you rely on your local drive-thru for your ice cream fix, you’re missing out!
We’ve created a recipe that will take your homemade ice cream to the next level. It includes two of our favorite things: Peeps marshmallow candy and Jack Daniel’s Whiskey. Two entire packages of Peeps are melted into the ice cream base and another package is chopped up and folded into the ice cream once it has partially frozen. There is absolutely no shortage of Peeps in this delicious dessert!
NOTES:
To make this ice cream we used our favorite ice cream maker from Cuisinart. It has a 1.5 quart capacity and fits this recipe perfectly. You can purchase one here.
Don’t be tempted to add more whiskey! The alcohol doesn’t freeze solid so adding more will only result in a slushy (but yummy) mess. But, nobody says you can’t pour a little Jack over the ice cream once it’s ready to serve! ENJOY!
