Creamy 4-Ingredient Peach Sorbet Recipe
Introduction
This 4-ingredient peach sorbet is the perfect no-bake dessert for warm days. Smooth, creamy, and refreshing, it captures the natural sweetness of ripe peaches in every bite.
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh peaches (about 6-8), peeled
- 2⁄3 cup sugar
- Juice of 1 lemon

Instructions
- Step 1: Cut the fresh peaches into small chunks and arrange them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze until solid, about 2-3 hours.
- Step 2: Transfer the frozen peaches to a heavy-duty food processor. Add the sugar and lemon juice, and pulse a few times to break up the fruit.
- Step 3: Blend until creamy and smooth, pausing to stir, press down, and scrape the sides as needed for even blending.

- Step 5: Serve and enjoy your homemade peach sorbet!
Tips & Variations
- Use a high-powered food processor for smooth results, and allow it to rest if it becomes warm during blending.
- If the sorbet isn’t blending smoothly, add a splash of water or milk, one tablespoon at a time, until creamy.
- Cut peaches into small chunks before freezing to help with easier blending.
- If the sorbet is too hard after freezing, let it soften at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping.
Storage
Store the sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week. Let it soften at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for easier scooping and better texture.

FAQs
Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh?
It’s best to use fresh peaches that you freeze yourself as instructed. Pre-frozen peaches may contain added water or preservatives that affect texture and flavor.
What if I don’t have a food processor?
A high-speed blender can work as an alternative, but you may need to add a little liquid and blend in bursts to achieve the right creamy texture.
