Description
Silky peach sorbet delivers refreshing summer sweetness straight from Mediterranean orchards. Home cooks can blend ripe peaches with simple ingredients for cool, elegant dessert pleasure.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 peaches (ripe yellow, 800 g / 28.2 oz), sliced and peeled
- 200 g (7.1 oz) caster sugar
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) lemon juice
Instructions
- Peach Preparation: Slice ripe peaches into elegant wedges, meticulously peeling to create a velvety base for a sublime sorbet experience.
- Flavor Fusion: Combine peach segments with caster sugar in a food processor, blending until a harmonious, uniform puree emerges, ensuring no textural inconsistencies remain.
- Citrus Enhancement: Infuse the peachy mixture with fresh lemon juice, calibrating the brightness to complement the fruit’s natural sweetness and create a perfectly balanced flavor profile.
- Freezing Transformation: Pour the luminous mixture into a wide, flat container, strategically positioning in the freezer. Every 60-90 minutes, gently fold the developing sorbet to interrupt ice crystal formation and maintain a luxuriously smooth consistency.
- Final Refinement: Allow the sorbet to fully solidify over 5-6 hours, periodically disrupting its structure to guarantee a creamy, scoopable texture that captures the quintessential essence of summer’s most vibrant fruit.
Notes
- Peach Prep Technique: Carefully segment ripe peaches and remove skin to ensure a smooth, silky sorbet texture.
- Sugar Balancing Act: Add caster sugar gradually while blending to enhance natural peach sweetness without overwhelming the fruit’s delicate flavor.
- Citrus Enhancement: Incorporate fresh lemon juice strategically to brighten the sorbet’s taste and prevent excessive sweetness.
- Freezing Finesse: Use a wide, shallow container and stir frequently during initial freezing to prevent ice crystals and maintain a creamy, scoopable consistency.
