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.
