Ingredients

• sliced ripe peaches – you can use fresh peaches or frozen peaches for this recipe. We recommend removing the peel but it isn’t required. Learn how to freeze peaches to preserve them at the height of their ripeness.
• sugar – we use both coconut sugar and organic cane sugar as a sweetener.  After putting it to the test, we found that the coconut sugar adds a caramelly taste to the sorbet whereas the plain cane sugar will have more of a neutral sweetness making the sorbet taste more peachy. Both work well, it is just a flavor preference.
  You also can swap the sugar with honey or maple syrup to create a more natural and healthier sorbet. After putting it to the test, the only drawback with using honey or syrup is that the end result is less creamy and more icy. It is still delicious, and much more nutritious, but more of a frosted texture instead of a smooth one.
• fresh lemon juice – the acidity in lemon juice helps to balance the sweetness.

Equipment

• food processor – you can also use a high-speed blender such as a Vitamix or Blendtec.
• shallow, freezer-safe airtight container – this is for storing the sorbet in the freezer.
• ice cream scoop – make the scoops perfectly round and beautiful by using a classic ice cream scoop.

Instructions

Scroll down to the recipe card at the bottom for the FULL recipe details.

Step 1

First, start by adding the peaches, sugar, and lemon juice to a food processor. As mentioned above you can also use a high-speed blender.

Step 2

Then, activate the food processor and start to blend it into a puree.

Step 3

Keep processing the ingredients until it is a smooth texture with a consistency similar to soft-serve ice cream. This takes about 2-3 minutes.

You may have to stop the processor a couple of times to scrape the sides down.

Step 4

Empty the mixture into an airtight freezer-safe container and spread it out evenly.

Pop the container in the freezer for a couple of hours to set.

Expert tip

To achieve the best texture, freeze the peach sorbet in a shallow, airtight container.

This allows for quicker freezing and easier scooping.

Recipe variations

• Introduce other fruits like raspberries, strawberries, or blueberries to the peach sorbet for a yummy mixed fruit variation.
• Add a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom to the peach puree to create a warm and comforting flavor profile.
• Blend in almond extract or chopped dry roasted almonds to infuse the sorbet with a nutty undertone that pairs really well with peaches.
• For an adult twist, incorporate a splash of peach schnapps or bourbon into the sorbet mixture for a spirits-infused dessert experience.

Serving suggestions

• For a creative twist, place a scoop of peach sorbet in a tall glass and pour sparkling water over top to create a refreshing peach sorbet float.
• Pair the peach sorbet with some biscotti or shortbread cookies for a crunchy element that complements the smoothness of the creamy sorbet.
