A refreshing and creamy homemade sorbet that captures the delicate floral sweetness of ripe white peaches, perfect for summer cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 to 5 large ripe white peaches (about 2 pounds / 900 grams), peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (240 ml) water
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream or coconut cream
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract (optional)
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the simple syrup by combining 1 cup water and 3/4 cup granulated sugar in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium, stirring occasionally until sugar dissolves completely (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
  2. Peel the peaches by blanching them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transferring to ice water. The skins will slip right off. Pit and slice into chunks.
  3. In a bowl, toss sliced peaches with the cooled simple syrup, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Let sit for 20-30 minutes to macerate.
  4. Transfer the peach mixture to a blender or food processor. Add 1/4 cup heavy cream or coconut cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract if using. Blend until completely smooth, about 1-2 minutes. For an ultra-smooth texture, strain the puree through a fine mesh strainer.
  5. Cover and refrigerate the peach puree for at least 1 hour to chill.
  6. Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually 20-25 minutes) until creamy but still soft.
  7. Transfer the sorbet to a freezer-safe container, smooth the top with a spatula, and freeze for 2-3 hours until firm enough to scoop.
  8. Let the sorbet sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before scooping to soften slightly.

Notes

If you don’t have an ice cream maker, freeze the mixture in a shallow container and stir every 30 minutes for 3 hours to mimic churning. Use ripe peaches for best flavor. Chilling the sorbet base and ice cream maker bowl improves texture. Lemon juice balances sweetness but add gradually. Let sorbet soften 5 minutes before serving for easier scooping.
