Perfect Peach Sorbet 🍑

A Cool, Creamy Treat Bursting with Summer Peach Flavor

When the summer sun hits its peak, nothing satisfies quite like a cold, fruity scoop of homemade sorbet. This Perfect Peach Sorbet is made with just four ingredients and delivers big flavor with zero dairy or complicated steps. If you’ve never made sorbet at home, this is your sign to try—it’s easy, natural, and the perfect way to use ripe peaches before they’re gone for the season.


Why I Love This Recipe

There’s something magical about biting into a perfectly ripe peach—and this sorbet captures that exact moment, frozen in time. I love this recipe because it’s:

  • Naturally refreshing with no artificial flavors
  • Ridiculously easy—no ice cream maker needed
  • Vegan and dairy-free, but still creamy and smooth
  • The perfect palate cleanser or light dessert after a summer BBQ

It reminds me of pairing it with this blueberry lemonade on the porch—pure sunshine in every sip and bite.


Ingredients

  • 4 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and chopped
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Optional Add-Ins and Swaps

  • Add a few mint leaves during blending for a fresh herbal twist 🌿
  • Replace sugar with honey or agave for a different kind of sweetness 🍯
  • Try mixing in a handful of raspberries or strawberries for a fruity blend

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Make the Simple Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let cool.

2. Blend the Peaches
In a blender or food processor, blend the chopped peaches until completely smooth.

3. Combine Ingredients
Add the cooled simple syrup and lemon juice to the peach purée. Blend again until fully mixed and silky.

4. Freeze
Pour the mixture into a shallow dish (a metal pan works great). Freeze for about 4 hours, stirring with a fork every hour to break up any ice crystals. This creates a fluffy, sorbet-like texture.

5. Serve
Scoop into chilled bowls or cups. Garnish with mint, fresh peach slices, or a drizzle of peach syrup if desired.


Tips for Sorbet Success

  • Ripe peaches = best results. Look for fruit that yields slightly to pressure and smells sweet.
  • No blender? Mash peaches finely with a fork and strain for a smoother texture.
  • Want a firmer sorbet? Freeze in a loaf pan overnight, then let it thaw for 5–10 minutes before scooping.

Serving Suggestions & Pairings

Serve this peach sorbet with:


Storage Tips

  • In the Freezer: Store tightly covered for up to 2 weeks. Press a layer of plastic wrap directly on top of the sorbet to prevent ice crystals.
  • Too Hard to Scoop? Let it sit at room temp for 5–10 minutes to soften slightly.
