Why You’ll Love Peach Sorbet

Peach sorbet is:

  • Naturally sweet – no need for heavy sweeteners
  • Vegan and dairy-free – suitable for most diets
  • Light and refreshing – perfect for summer
  • Easy to make – requires only a few ingredients

Plus, you don’t need an ice cream maker—just a blender and a freezer!


Ingredients

You only need a few simple ingredients to make peach sorbet at home:

  • 4 ripe peaches (fresh or frozen)
  • 2–3 tablespoons of maple syrup or honey (optional, depending on peach sweetness)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (to enhance flavor and preserve color)
  • ¼ cup water (if needed for blending)
  • Fresh mint (optional garnish)

How to Make Peach Sorbet

Step 1: Prepare the Peaches

If using fresh peaches, peel and slice them. Freeze the slices for at least 4 hours or overnight. If using frozen peaches, skip this step.

Step 2: Blend

Add the frozen peach slices, lemon juice, and sweetener (if using) to a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add a little water if needed to help the mixture blend.

Step 3: Freeze Again (Optional)

For soft-serve-style sorbet, serve immediately. For a firmer texture, transfer the mixture to a container and freeze for 1–2 hours before scooping.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Scoop into bowls or cones, garnish with fresh mint, and enjoy this guilt-free summer treat!


Tips for the Perfect Sorbet

  • Use very ripe peaches for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • Add a splash of vanilla extract for extra depth.
  • Try blending in a touch of ginger or basil for a unique twist.
  • Freeze in silicone molds for fun shapes.
