Why You’ll Love This Peach Sorbet
This recipe is all about celebrating the juicy goodness of ripe peaches.

Ingredients
- 4 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and roughly chopped
- 1 cup sugar (feel free to adjust based on your sweet tooth!)
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish
Steps to Make Peach Sorbet
Ready to turn those peaches into a dreamy sorbet? Let’s get started!
- In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. This is your simple syrup, and yes, it smells heavenly! Let it cool.
- While that’s cooling, toss your chopped peaches and lemon juice into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. If you like a little texture, leave some small chunks! No one’s judging you here.
- Once the simple syrup has cooled, add it to the peach puree. Give it another quick blend to mix everything together. This is where the magic happens!
- Pour the mixture into a shallow dish (a metal pan works great) and place it in the freezer. After about an hour, take it out and stir it vigorously with a fork to break up any ice crystals. Repeat this every 30 minutes for about 2-3 hours. Yes, it takes a bit of effort, but it’s totally worth it for that dreamy, fluffy texture.
- Once it’s frozen to your liking, scoop it into bowls, garnish with mint leaves, and prepare for the compliments!
Cooking Tips
Now, I get it. Sometimes the kitchen can feel like a rollercoaster ride—twists, turns, and maybe even a little chaos. Here are a few tips to keep your sorbet-making journey smooth:
- If your peaches aren’t in season, don’t sweat it! You can use frozen peaches as a substitute. Just make sure they’re thawed and drained well.
- Worried about being too sweet? Taste test as you go! Adjust the sugar to your liking, because, let’s face it, no one wants a sorbet that makes your teeth hurt.
- Feeling adventurous? Think about adding a splash of vanilla extract or a hint of fresh ginger to the mix. Solving dessert disasters with creativity is my favorite pastime!
This Peach Sorbet was born out of my love for summer gatherings. I remember one afternoon, trying to satisfy the cravings of my kids after a day at the pool. A quick blend of peaches and a dash of sugar turned into this summertime favorite, and they’ve been hooked ever since!
FAQs about Peach Sorbet
Can I substitute sugar in this recipe?
Absolutely! If you’re looking for a healthier alternative, consider using honey, agave syrup, or even a sugar substitute like stevia. Just keep in mind, sweetness levels may vary. Adjust accordingly!
How can I store leftovers?
If you happen to have any sorbet left (lucky you!), store it in an airtight container in the freezer. It should last about 1-2 weeks, though I can’t promise it’ll last that long—everyone loves this treat!
