Ingredients
Scale
Main 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 and slice them. If using frozen peaches, thaw them slightly for easier blending but keep them cool.
- Blend ingredients: Combine the peaches, caster sugar, and lemon juice in a blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Adjust sweetness and acidity: Taste the sorbet mixture and adjust the sugar or lemon juice if needed to balance sweetness and tanginess.
- Freeze the mixture: Pour the blended mixture into a shallow freezer-safe container. Freeze for several hours, ideally around 4-6 hours, stirring every 30-60 minutes to break up ice crystals and achieve a smoother texture.
- Serve: Once fully frozen and scoopable, serve the peach sorbet in bowls or dessert glasses. Optionally, garnish with fresh peach slices or mint leaves.
Notes
- Use ripe peaches for the best natural sweetness; if peaches are tart, increase sugar slightly.
- Lemon juice enhances flavor and balances sweetness but can be adjusted to taste.
- Regular stirring during freezing prevents large ice crystals and results in a smoother sorbet texture.
- This recipe makes a naturally dairy-free and egg-free, vegan-friendly sorbet.
