5 Stars 4 Stars 3 Stars 2 Stars 1 Star

4.4 from 14 reviews

A refreshing and easy-to-make peach sorbet that captures the natural sweetness and vibrant flavor of ripe yellow peaches. This recipe offers two methods for freezing: using an ice cream maker for a smooth texture or a no-machine approach with regular stirring. Perfect for a light, fruity dessert.

  • Total Time: 6 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 800g ripe yellow peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 200g caster sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peaches: Wash, peel, and slice the peaches into eighths. Remove the pits to ensure a smooth sorbet texture.
  2. Blend the Ingredients: In a food processor or blender, combine the peeled and sliced peaches with the caster sugar. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed to incorporate all the fruit evenly.
  3. Add Lemon Juice: Gradually mix in the lemon juice, tasting as you go. The lemon juice helps balance the sweetness and brighten the flavor.
  4. Chill the Mixture: Transfer the blended mixture to a covered bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill thoroughly, which enhances the sorbet’s texture.
  5. Freeze the Sorbet With an Ice Cream Maker: Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions—usually about 20-25 minutes. Then transfer the sorbet to a container and freeze for an additional 2-3 hours to set fully.
  6. Freeze the Sorbet Without an Ice Cream Maker: Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer. After 1 hour, stir with a fork to break up any forming ice crystals. Repeat this stirring every 30 minutes over the course of 4 hours to create a smooth texture similar to churned sorbet.
  7. Serve & Enjoy: Before serving, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly for easy scooping. Serve in chilled bowls or cones for a delightful treat.

Notes

  • Use very ripe peaches for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
  • You can adjust lemon juice quantity to taste to balance the sweetness and acidity.
  • If you don’t have an ice cream maker, the manual stirring method helps prevent icy texture.
  • Sorbet can be stored in the freezer for up to one week without loss of flavor.
  • For a smoother texture, blend the peaches thoroughly before freezing.
