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.

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.

This ice cream tastes like grape candy turned into ice cream, and I’m thrilled to tell you that even this non-grape-flavor-loving girl enjoyed it. And the grape candy lovers in my life? Oh man, this ice cream was an enormous hit.

Lemon Blueberry Ice Cream
