Peach Sorbet Ingredients
- 800 g peeled and sliced ripe yellow peaches – fresh or frozen
- 200 g caster sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the Peaches: If using fresh peaches, peel, pit, and slice them into chunks. If using frozen peaches, allow them to thaw slightly for easier blending.
- Combine Ingredients: Place the peaches, caster sugar, and lemon juice into a high-powered blender or food processor. The lemon juice enhances the brightness of the peaches and balances the sweetness.
- Blend to Smooth: Blend the mixture until completely smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the lemon juice or sugar if needed to suit your preference.
- Freeze the Mixture: Pour the blended peach mixture into a shallow freezer-safe container. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap.
- Freeze and Stir: Freeze for about 2 hours, then remove and stir vigorously with a fork or whisk to break up ice crystals. Repeat stirring every 30 minutes for about 2 to 3 hours until the sorbet is fully frozen and has a smooth, scoopable texture.
- Serve: Once the sorbet is firm, scoop into bowls or glasses and serve immediately. For best texture, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of sugar depending on the sweetness of your peaches; less sugar can be used if the peaches are very ripe.
- Lemon juice is essential to enhance the fruit’s natural flavor and to help prevent browning.
- If you have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the mixture in it as an alternative for a creamier texture.
- This recipe can be prepared vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free.
- For storage, keep the sorbet covered in the freezer and consume within one week for best flavor.
