Ingredients
  

3 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 cups heavy cream

1 cup whole milk

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons bourbon (optional)

12 large homemade or store-bought cookies (chocolate chip or sugar cookies work great)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peaches: In a medium bowl, combine the sliced peaches, lemon juice, and brown sugar. Toss to coat and let sit for about 15 minutes, allowing the juices to release.

    Make the Ice Cream Base: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir until the sugar fully dissolves and the mixture is warm (do not boil).

      Thicken the Base: In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a few tablespoons of the warm cream mix to create a slurry. Stir well until smooth, then add it back to the saucepan. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly.

        Combine with Peaches: Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly. Fold in the bourbon (if using) and the peach mixture, ensuring the peach slices are evenly distributed.

          Chill and Churn: Transfer the mixture to a container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely chilled. Once chilled, churn the mixture in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

            Freeze the Ice Cream: Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours to firm up.

              Assemble the Sandwiches: Once the ice cream is ready, scoop a generous amount onto one cookie, topping it with another cookie to form a sandwich. Gently press down to allow the ice cream to spread and create a delightful, substantial treat.

                Serve and Enjoy: For the ultimate experience, serve immediately or wrap each sandwich in parchment paper and freeze them for later enjoyment.
