Ingredients
Peach Sorbet
- 16 oz. frozen peach slices
- ¼–½ cup agave nectar (or honey, or simple syrup)
- 1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice (or lemon juice)
- 1 tsp. grated lime zest (or lemon zest)
Optional Garnish
- Fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Add the frozen peach slices, ¼ cup of your chosen sweetener, lime juice, and lime zest into a large food processor or blender. Blend continuously for 1-2 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides every 20-30 seconds, until the mixture is completely smooth with no visible fruit chunks. If the sorbet isn’t sweet enough, add additional sweetener one tablespoon at a time, blending well after each addition until your desired sweetness is achieved.
- Spread Mixture: Transfer the smooth peach mixture into a 9×5-inch metal loaf pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across the pan, creating a uniform layer for freezing.
- Freeze Sorbet: Place the pan in the freezer for a minimum of 4 hours or overnight for best results, allowing the sorbet to fully set and achieve a scoopable texture.
- Serve: Before serving, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 1-2 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint if desired, and enjoy this refreshing dessert.
Notes
- Adjust sweetness according to personal taste by adding sweetener gradually.
- Use fresh lime juice and zest for a bright citrus flavor, but lemon can be substituted.
- If peaches are not frozen, you can freeze fresh peach slices overnight before blending.
- For a smoother texture, pulse the blender/processor rather than continuously blending if the mixture overheats.
- This sorbet is best enjoyed the same day or within a couple of days for optimal freshness.
- Mint garnish is optional but adds a lovely fresh aroma and taste.
