3 Ingredient Peach Sorbet
Equipment
- 1 Food processor or high-speed blender
- 1 Loaf pan or shallow container
Ingredients
- 4 cups frozen peaches or fresh, peeled and sliced, then frozen ahead of time
- 0.25 cup honey or maple syrup or agave for sweetness
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice adjust to taste (1–2 tablespoons total)
Instructions
Prepare the Sorbet
- Place the frozen peach slices in a food processor or high-speed blender.
- Add honey and lemon juice. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides or pulse as needed to mix evenly.
- Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan or shallow container. Freeze for about 2–3 hours until the sorbet is scoopable.
Notes
- Use ripe, sweet peaches for the best flavor.
- Sweeten to taste—if your fruit is especially juicy, you may need less honey.
- Let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping for an easy, creamy texture.
- Try variations: blend in mint, add berries, or swap peaches for mango/nectarine.
- Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Soften at room temperature before scooping if too firm. Do not microwave.

FAQs
Can I make peach sorbet without a food processor?
Yes, you can use a blender, but you may need to add a tablespoon or two of water if your machine has trouble getting started.
Do I need to peel the peaches first?
If you’re using fresh peaches, peeling them will give a smoother sorbet. Frozen peaches are often already peeled.

It’s best to use frozen or fresh peaches for texture, but you can drain canned peaches, freeze them, and then blend as directed for a similar result.
