We're kicking ice cream up a notch with this no-churn style delight made with chilled coconut milk that is carefully blended with fresh cream, a spike of Tennessee Whiskey and spoonfuls of vegan caramel.
It's time for the adults to come out and play.
On a clement summer night, the air is laced with something sweet and sticky.
The balmy breeze is tied up with the scent that still lingers from the day- wild flowers, barbecues, the air that summer brings- life.
I end my days the same way I begin them- outside on the back porch; staring out into the sky, absorbing the quiet, and either looking forward to, or reflecting back on the day's events.
The candles are lit around us as we sit together indulging in a scoop of ice cream. Sometimes we talk, but more often we laugh as time quickly passes us by.
The sun has long set, the candles have nearly burnt out into puddles of wax, and our laughter has wafted into the quiet night.
We have finished off our ice cream, our tummies full, our minds still racing, and our hearts swelled with joy, love, and momentary freedom of life's little worries.
I watch the faint, flickering light reflect in the eyes of those I am blessed to be sharing these cherished moments with.
If I could bottle time, I would make these summer nights mine forever.
Caramel Whiskey Ice Cream {No-Churn}
- Total Time: 15 minutes
- Yield: 6 1x
Ingredients
Ice Cream:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon icing sugar
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon Tennessee Whiskey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup coconut milk, chilled
Vegan Caramel:
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons coconut milk
Instructions
- In a medium bowl that is chilled, whip cream and icing sugar until soft peaks form. Add the cream that forms on top of chilled coconut milk. Beat again until firm peaks form.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together condensed milk, whiskey and vanilla. Fold into whipped cream.
- Pour the ice cream into a freezer container or loaf pan and cover with cling film. Let freeze for about 30 minutes.
- In the meantime, prepare the vegan caramel. Heat sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, until the sugar begins to melt down. Once the sugar has melted down and begins bubbling, add coconut milk and remove from heat. Gently whisk the caramel and transfer to a glass bowl to cool.
- After 30 minutes have passed, pull the ice cream out and add vegan caramel. Drop spoonfuls of caramel and carefully stir it through the ice cream. Return the ice cream to the freezer until ready to serve, about 4-6 hours or overnight.
- Prep Time: 10 minutes

Hi Tammy and Catherine,
Thank you for thinking about me and sending your prayers as well. Yes, it has been a really rough time the whole month of June. I was in the hospital. I have had a bad case of Cellulitis on my leg. It has been so painful and it really takes so long to heal. The only way I would get some relief was laying down in the bed. This didn't help my Lupus and MS as it was stressing me out so much. I have a nurse that comes 2 times a week to check my leg and my vitals. Thank God for pain killers, I am at least able to get up without crying from the pain. The doctors can't figure out where or how I got this problem. I have not been on FB and have not posted anything to my blog as it has been hard to sit at my PC. Hopefully I will be back to blogging on Friday... Hope all is well with you and your families and you had a wonderful July 4th. I am sorry that I have not been able to get back to you sooner and read all of your posts. This recipe sounds really yummy, a perfect summer treat. I will try to read the other posts, I miss reading and enjoying your recipes/posts.
Blessings and love to all....Dottie x

Oh my goodness, yes! This sounds like the perfect combination! My hubby is obsessed with bourbon, and he's pretty fond of caramel too. Put them in homemade ice cream, and he's going to go nuts! Definitely going to try this! 🙂

I never thought about using coconut milk to make ice cream. Is the ice cream just as creamy and ice cream made with whole milk?
