Perfect Peach Sorbet
When the summer sun is blazing and the kids have been running around the yard all afternoon, there’s nothing quite like scooping into a bowl of this homemade Perfect Peach Sorbet. It’s a recipe I stumbled upon one scorching afternoon when our fridge was overflowing with ripe peaches that were seconds from overripe. Rather than baking (because who wants a hot oven in July?), I thought, why not try a fruit sorbet? That first batch was an instant hit—so refreshing, naturally sweet, and unbelievably creamy despite being dairy-free.
What makes this recipe a mainstay in our home is how easy it is. Seriously—four simple ingredients, one blender, and a freezer are all you need. No churning, no fuss. The kids actually cheer when they see me pulling out the frozen peaches, and my husband says it tastes better than anything we’ve ever bought at the store.
It’s also my secret weapon when I want to impress without effort. The vibrant color, silky texture, and bright peach flavor feel gourmet, but you’d never guess it only takes 10 minutes of prep. I’ve even served it at backyard cookouts and book club get-togethers, and there’s never a spoonful left.
This recipe is perfect for busy moms who want to treat their families with something wholesome and indulgent. Once you try it, I have a feeling you’ll be reaching for your peaches too. Every. Single. Summer.
Questions I Often Get Asked About This Recipe
Can I use canned or frozen peaches instead of fresh?
Yes! Frozen peaches work perfectly and actually make the process even faster. If you use canned, make sure they’re in juice—not syrup—and drain them well.
Do I need an ice cream maker?
Nope! That’s the beauty of this recipe. A good blender or food processor is all you need.
How long does peach sorbet last in the freezer?
Stored in an airtight container, it keeps well for up to 2 weeks. After that, it may become a bit icy, but still tasty!
Can I make this recipe without added sugar?
You can, especially if your peaches are super ripe and naturally sweet. Taste your mixture before freezing to decide.
Is it okay to add other fruits or flavors?
Absolutely. Try blending in a few strawberries or a splash of lime juice for a twist.
What You Need to Make Perfect Peach Sorbet
4 cups fresh or frozen peach slices (peeled and pitted)
½ cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)

½ cup water
Optional: pinch of salt to enhance flavor
Special Equipment:

How to Make Perfect Peach Sorbet
Prep the Peaches: If using fresh peaches, peel, pit, and slice them. Freeze slices on a tray for 2-3 hours or until firm.
Blend: In a high-powered blender or food processor, add the frozen peach slices, sugar, lemon juice, water, and optional salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides.
Taste and Adjust: Taste the mixture. If it’s not sweet enough, blend in a little more sugar or honey.
Freeze: Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and freeze for 2-3 hours until scoopable.
Serve: Scoop into bowls or cones, and garnish with fresh peach slices or mint if desired!
Tips for Making the Best Perfect Peach Sorbet
Use ripe peaches: The riper they are, the sweeter and more flavorful your sorbet will be.
Chill everything: For a quicker freeze, make sure your fruit and ingredients are cold before blending.
Go sugar-free: If you’re watching sugar, use ripe fruit and skip the sugar altogether—or replace it with honey or agave.
Texture tip: Add a splash more water if the blend is too thick.
Double batch: This recipe is easy to double and perfect for summer parties.
