Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
3 cups frozen peaches
juice of 1 lemon
1–2 tablespoons honey (adjust based on sweetness preference)

Directions

Place the frozen peaches, lemon juice, and honey in a food processor. Blend for a few minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides, until the mixture reaches your desired consistency.
Transfer the blended mixture to a freezer‑safe dish. Freeze for 1–2 hours until it reaches your preferred sorbet texture (about 1 hour yields an icy yet slightly soft texture).
Remove from the freezer, scoop into a bowl, and enjoy immediately.

Servings And Timing

Serves: approximately 4 small servings (about ½ cup per serving)
Prep Time: ~5 minutes
Freeze Time: 1–2 hours, depending on desired texture
Total Time: 1 hour and 5 minutes to 2 hours and 5 minutes

Variations

Sugar‑free option: use maple syrup or agave instead of honey, or omit entirely if the peaches are sweet enough
Flavor twist: add a few fresh mint leaves or a pinch of ginger before blending
Creamier version: swirl in a splash of coconut milk or yogurt after blending and before freezing
Fruit combinations: blend with frozen berries, mango, or pineapple to create a mixed fruit sorbet

Storage/Reheating

Storage: keep stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week
Texture maintenance: if sorbet becomes too firm, let sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving; stir to soften
Refreezing: stirring once after partial thawing helps restore scoopable consistency

FAQs

Can I Use Fresh Peaches Instead Of Frozen?

You can use fresh peaches if they’re very ripe—just peel, pit, chop, and flash‑freeze them on a tray before blending for best texture.

What If My Sorbet Is Too Hard After Freezing?

Let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes or stir before scooping to soften it.

Can I Skip The Honey For Sweetness?

Yes—as long as your peaches are naturally sweet, you can omit the honey altogether or reduce it to taste.

Can I Use Lime Juice Instead Of Lemon?

Lime juice works well too, offering a slightly different citrus brightness that complements peach flavor.

How Smooth Should The Texture Be?

Blend as little or as much as you like—some people enjoy a slightly chunky texture, while others prefer a smooth, creamy result.

Can I Make A Larger Batch?

Yes—simply scale the ingredients proportionally, though you may need to blend in batches to ensure smoothness.

Can I Store It Longer Than A Week?

Freezer burn may affect flavor beyond one week, but it’s generally fine to consume within 2 weeks if stored well.

Is This Suitable For Children Or Babies?

Yes—made from fruit without added refined sugar (if honey is reduced or omitted), it’s a natural dessert. Check for potential allergies or sensitivities.

Can I Add Other Fruits Or Mix‑Ins?

Yes—blend frozen berries, mango, or pineapple with the peaches, or stir in chopped fresh berries or chocolate chips before freezing.

How Do I Make It Dairy‑Free?

This recipe is already dairy‑free—as long as you use pure peach, lemon juice, and honey (or alternative sweetener).
