3-Ingredient Peach Sorbet – Easy & Refreshing

3-Ingredient Peach Sorbet – The Ultimate Summer Scoop

There are a few summer memories that stick with you forever: barefoot walks on hot pavement, juicy peaches dripping down your chin, and the sound of an ice cream truck just around the corner. For me, nothing encapsulates the taste of summer quite like a scoop of fresh peach sorbet.

But unlike the icy blocks I used to get as a kid, this 3-Ingredient Peach Sorbet is naturally sweet, unbelievably smooth, and so easy to make, it’s almost magic. It was my grandmother’s go-to when peaches overflowed from the farmers’ market baskets and the oven was strictly off-limits during July. With just peaches, honey, and a splash of lemon juice, she created something refreshing, bright, and worthy of being served in the finest glass dessert dishes.

Now, I’m passing that simple tradition on to you – no ice cream maker needed, no fancy tools, just pure peach perfection.

Why You’ll Love This 3-Ingredient Peach Sorbet

Only 3 ingredients: That’s it. No fillers, preservatives, or added sugars.
Naturally dairy-free and vegan (if using maple syrup or agave instead of honey)

Customizable: Mix in herbs, spices, or swirl in a surprise.
No-churn and blender-friendly: No special equipment needed.

Ingredient Breakdown

1. Fresh or Frozen Peaches (4 cups, sliced)

Peaches are the heart of this sorbet. Use ripe, juicy peaches in season for the best flavor. You can peel them or leave the skins on for added fiber and color. If you’re using frozen peaches, make sure they’re unsweetened.

2. Honey (3 tablespoons)

This adds just the right amount of sweetness while highlighting the natural sugars in the fruit. You can substitute with maple syrup, agave nectar, or simple syrup for a vegan option.

3. Fresh Lemon Juice (1–2 tablespoons)

This little splash makes the peach flavor pop, adds brightness, and keeps the sorbet from tasting flat.

Equipment You’ll Need

High-speed blender or food processor
Freezer-safe container with lid
Rubber spatula
Ice cream scoop or spoon for serving
Optional: fine mesh strainer if you want extra-smooth sorbet

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prep Your Peaches

If using fresh peaches:

Peel (optional), pit, and slice about 4–5 ripe peaches.
Spread slices on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.

If using frozen peaches:

Skip the prep and measure out 4 cups of frozen slices.

Step 2: Blend

In a food processor or high-speed blender:

Add frozen peach slices, honey, and lemon juice.
Blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed.
If it’s too thick, add a tablespoon of cold water or juice to help it along.

Step 3: Taste and Adjust

Taste your mixture:

Add more lemon juice for tang.
Add a little more honey if peaches weren’t super ripe.

Step 4: Freeze

Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container.

Smooth the top with a spatula.
Cover and freeze for 2–3 hours until firm enough to scoop.

If you prefer a soft-serve texture, you can serve it immediately after blending.

Pro Tips for the Creamiest Peach Sorbet

Use very ripe peaches: The riper they are, the better the flavor and natural sweetness.
Add a pinch of salt: It enhances the overall taste without making it salty.
Want it scoopable straight from the freezer? Add a tablespoon of vodka or white rum before freezing to keep the texture soft.
Blender stuck? Let the peaches thaw slightly or pulse a few times before blending.

FAQs About Peach Sorbet

Can I make this without a high-speed blender?

Yes! A food processor works great. Just pulse and scrape down the sides frequently.

Can I use canned peaches?

Not ideal, as they’re often packed in syrup and too soft. If using, go for unsweetened and drain them well.

How do I get a super smooth texture?

Blend thoroughly and strain through a fine mesh sieve if you want a velvety sorbet.

Is it sweet enough?

That depends on your peaches! Taste and adjust as needed.
