Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup raspberries
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Peel the peaches and slice them into wedges. Make sure to remove the pit from each peach. Rinse the raspberries gently under cold water and set them aside to drain.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the sliced peaches, raspberries, honey (or maple syrup), lemon juice, and salt. The honey or maple syrup will add sweetness, while the lemon juice enhances the flavors and provides a refreshing zest.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender or processor to ensure everything is well combined.
- Once blended, taste the mixture. If you prefer it sweeter, you can add a little more honey or maple syrup and blend again.
- Transfer the sorbet mixture into a shallow container or a loaf pan. Spread it evenly and cover it with a lid or plastic wrap.
- Place the container in the freezer for about 2 to 4 hours, or until the sorbet is firm enough to scoop. If you plan to serve it later, check the sorbet periodically to ensure it doesn’t freeze too hard.
- When you are ready to serve, remove the sorbet from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
- Scoop the sorbet into bowls or dessert glasses. You can garnish it with a few fresh raspberries or a slice of peach for an extra touch.
- Enjoy your Healthy Peach Melba Sorbet as a refreshing dessert that’s perfect for warm weather!
Tips
- Choose Perfectly Ripe Fruit: The secret to an amazing sorbet is using fully ripe, sweet peaches and raspberries. Look for peaches that yield slightly when gently pressed and have a fragrant aroma.
- Freezing Hacks: For the smoothest texture, use a shallow container and stir the sorbet every hour during freezing to prevent large ice crystals from forming.
- Sweetness Control: Adjust the honey or maple syrup to your taste. For a completely natural version, use ripe fruits which are naturally sweeter.
- Make-Ahead Magic: This sorbet can be prepared up to a week in advance, making it perfect for entertaining or quick dessert emergencies.
- Serving Tip: Let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving to achieve the perfect scoopable consistency.
