Peach Sorbet Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh peaches (about 6-8), peeled
- 2/3 cup sugar
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare and Freeze Peaches: Cut the fresh peaches into small chunks and arrange them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the tray in the freezer and freeze the peaches until completely solid, about 2-3 hours.
- Blend the Sorbet Base: Transfer the frozen peach chunks to a heavy-duty food processor. Add the sugar and lemon juice. Pulse a few times to break up the frozen fruit, then blend continuously until the mixture becomes creamy and smooth. Pause blending occasionally to stir the mixture, press down any pieces, and scrape the sides of the processor bowl to ensure even blending.
- Season and Serve: Taste the sorbet and add a pinch of salt if needed to enhance the flavors. You can serve the sorbet immediately for a soft-serve texture, or transfer the mixture to a loaf pan lined with plastic wrap. Freeze it for at least 4 hours to firm up for a scoopable consistency.
- Enjoy: Scoop and serve the peach sorbet chilled as a refreshing dessert on a warm day.
Notes
- Make sure peaches are fully frozen before blending to achieve a smooth sorbet texture.
- Adjust sugar according to the sweetness of your peaches.
- Lemon juice brightens the flavor and helps preserve the fruit’s color.
- For a softer texture, serve immediately after blending; refrigerate longer for a more solid sorbet.
- This recipe is dairy-free and vegan friendly.
