Peach Sorbet

Peach sorbet is a cold, refreshing bite of summer on a spoon. It’s bright, flavorful, and bursting with juicy sweetness. Made with just peaches, lemon juice, sugar, and a pinch of salt, peach sorbet is proof that the simplest recipes are often the best.

Peach Sorbet

This almost unbelievably easy-to-make recipe blends ripe peaches and a bit of sugar into a smooth puree, then freezes it into a light, scoopable treat that’s naturally dairy-free and vegan.

The lemon keeps the flavor vibrant, while a tiny pinch of salt almost magically makes the peaches taste even more peachy.

One of the things I love most about sorbet is how it captures fruit flavors at their best. When peaches are in season, they’re so sweet and flavorful that you barely need to do anything to them. Just blend them with a little sugar to help them freeze nicely and stay scoopable, and you’re good to go.

Depending on how sweet your peaches are, you may need to increase the sugar amount slightly. If your peaches are super sweet, the listed amount of sugar should be fine. Taste the puree and add more, if desired.

Fruit Sorbet

Fruit sorbets are quick to make, perfect for hot days, and fancy enough to serve to guests. Whether you scoop your sorbet into a bowl, a cone, or serve it with a splash of vodka (if you know, you know, this lemon sorbet was my introduction to that memorable combination), sorbet is a fantastic frozen treat.

After you’ve tried peach sorbet and lemon sorbet, you’ll want to put strawberry sorbet on your list too.
