Peach Sorbet
A bright, refreshing frozen dessert bursting with fresh peach flavor. It is easy to make, naturally dairy-free and the perfect summer treat.
Ingredients
- 8 medium peaches - each peach should be peeled and cut into 8 slices. ( you should end up with 3½ cups of puree)
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- ½ cup + 2 tbsp water
- ½ cup + 2 tbsp cane sugar
Instructions
- This recipe requires an ice cream maker, so make sure the ice cream bowl has been placed in the freezer 12 to 24 hours before preparing the sorbet.
- To make the simple syrup - add the water and cane sugar to a small pot. Place the pot over medium-low heat and stir occasionally until the sugar has dissolved. Remove the pot from the heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature.
- Peel and slice each peach into 8 slices. Add the peach slices to a blender and puree them by blending on high speed for 1 minute. Add the lemon juice, maple syrup and 10 tablespoons (½ cup plus 2 tablespoons) of the simple syrup to the blender and blend on high speed for another 30 seconds.
- Pour the sorbet into a freezer safe container, cover the container and place it in the freezer for 1 hour.
- Pour the chilled sorbet into the bowl of the ice cream maker and churn the sorbet per your ice cream maker's instructions. I churned mine for 25 minutes. It had a smooth, slightly creamy consistency. Scoop the sorbet from the ice cream bowl and place it into a freezer safe container with a lid. Place the sorbet in the freezer for about 4 hours.After 4 hours, the sorbet will have a soft, scoop able consistency and is ready to serve. The longer the sorbet spends in the freezer, the firmer it will become and will require time to soften before serving.Store the sorbet in the freezer.
