Description
This vibrant and refreshing peach sorbet recipe delivers a smooth, naturally sweet dessert without the need for an ice cream maker. Made from ripe yellow peaches, sugar, and a hint of lemon juice, it’s an easy-to-make frozen treat perfect for summer days or any time you crave a light, fruity dessert.
Ingredients
Peaches
- 800 g peeled and sliced ripe yellow peaches (fresh or frozen)
Sweetener
- 200 g caster sugar
Flavoring
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the Peaches: Slice the peaches into 8 pieces each and peel each slice carefully to ensure smooth texture in the sorbet.
- Blend Ingredients: Place the peeled peach slices and caster sugar into the bowl of a food processor. Blend until the mixture becomes completely smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides to ensure even processing.
- Add Lemon Juice: Once the peach mixture is smooth, add the lemon juice gradually, tasting as you go to achieve the perfect balance of tartness.
- Freeze: Transfer the peach sorbet mixture into a suitable container and freeze it for 6 to 7 hours or until it becomes firm and scoopable.
Notes
- Using ripe, sweet peaches is key to the sorbet’s flavor; adjust sugar quantity based on peach sweetness.
- Adding lemon juice brightens the sorbet and helps preserve color; adjust lemon amount to your preference.
- If peaches are frozen, thaw slightly before processing for easier blending.
- For a softer texture, stir the sorbet every 1-2 hours while freezing to break up ice crystals if desired.
