The Best Peach Sorbet Without Ice Cream Maker
Description
This peach sorbet uses peeled and sliced ripe yellow peaches blended with caster sugar and a splash of lemon juice to enhance the fruit's brightness. The ingredients are processed until smooth and frozen until firm. The measured ratio of about 4 parts fruit to 1 part sugar provides the correct sweetness and texture for a scoopable sorbet.
The lemon juice is added gradually to taste, which brightens the peach flavor and balances sweetness. The smooth puree freezes to a firm consistency that can be scooped, making for a straightforward frozen dessert ideal for warmer days.
This recipe requires no ice cream maker, using only a food processor and freezer. The natural peach flavor dominates and is preserved with minimal added sugar.
Adjusting the fruit-to-sugar ratio proportionally allows scaling the recipe without altering texture. The amount of lemon juice can be varied to taste.
Ingredients
- 800 g peach ripe, yellow, peeled and sliced; fresh or frozen
- 200 g caster sugar (see notes)
- 1 tbsp* lemon juice to taste (see notes)
Instructions
- Slice the peaches into 8, and peel each slice.
- Place peach slices in the bowl of a food processor, along with sugar and process until smooth, scraping down the sides as you go.
- Once smooth, add lemon juice to taste.
- Freeze for 6-7 hours, or until firm.
Notes
- Gradually add lemon juice to taste to brighten the peach flavor without overpowering it.
- Maintain a 4:1 ratio of fruit to sugar by weight to achieve optimal sorbet texture.
- The recipe is adaptable by scaling fruit and sugar while keeping the ratio consistent.
- This sorbet can be made using fresh or frozen peaches as long as they are ripe and peeled.
