Peach Sorbet
If you’ve got a ton of peaches, make this easy Peach Sorbet! It is super easy, vegan, and the perfect no-guilt end-of-summer treat! You can make peach sorbet with or without an ice cream maker! No cutting up peaches, either!
With just three ingredients and about 5 minutes hands-on time, this frosty treat is a no-brainer for easy, healthy, summer desserts.
What is the Difference Between Sorbet and Sherbet?
What is the difference between sorbet and sherbet? That is a fine question! According to Baskin-Robbins, sorbet contains no dairy, while sherbet always has a bit of cream or milk added to give it a creamier texture. Another term for a sorbet is “ice,” like Italian ice. With my super simple technique, you can make this sorbet healthier and creamier without the added fat and calories from the cream!
What you Need
- Peaches: Any peach you can get your hands on will work in this recipe. Try for a sweet, flavorful variety for best results.
- Lemon juice: The lemon juice adds a freshness to the sorbet and brings out the flavor of the peaches.
- Sweetener: Sugar, sugar substitute, maple syrup, maple sugar, or honey.
How to Make Peach Sorbet
Step One:
Wash and remove the pit from the peaches. Rough chop them and add them to a food processor container.
The skins provide added color, fiber, and a creamier texture than peeled peaches.
Step Two:
Process the peaches, with skins on, in a blender, vitamix, or food processor.
Step Three:
Add lemon juice and sugar, maple syrup for vegan, or honey for non-vegan natural sugar. If your peaches are super-sweet, you may not even need the sweetener. Taste the peach puree and sweeten it to taste.
Step Four:
Churn the sorbet according to the manufacturer’s suggestions.
If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the sorbet into a freezer-safe container. Freeze it for 1-2 hours. Stir it every hour after that to incorporate air.
To Peel the Peaches
If you’d prefer to peel the peaches, use the following instructions
Step One:
Set up an ice bath in a large bowl.
Step Two:
Get water boiling in a large pot. Cut an x into the blossom end of each peach.
Carefully lower them into the boiling water for about one minute.
Step Three:
Remove them to the ice bath with a slotted spoon.
Step Four:
Slip the peels off of the peaches. Remove the peel. Then, proceed with the instructions above.
How Long Does Sorbet Last in the Freezer?
We find that sorbet is best used within four to eight weeks. Freezing it any longer than that results in a very crunchy, icy texture.
