Instructions

Remove the pits from the peaches and then roughly dice into 1” cubes. Transfer them to a freezer bag or freezer-safe container then place them in the freezer and allow them to freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Once they are frozen, remove them from the freezer and transfer to a food processor or blender. You might have to let them defrost for 10 minutes or so so they are able to break loose. Add the honey, almond milk and lemon zest to the processor as well then blend until smooth. If using a blender, you will likely need a tamper stick to help it blend. You can also add a small amount of milk, if needed, to help it blend. Just be careful not to add too much or you will end up with a sorbet that it too hard to scoop.
Transfer the mixture to a freezer safe container, then smooth it down with a spoon or spatula. Seal the container and place in the freezer for at least 4 hours. At this point the sorbet should be firm but scoopable. If it's too firm, let it sit out for 20-30 minutes to soften. Serve and enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I just use frozen peaches instead of fresh?

You can! This will save you some time not having to chop and freeze your peaches first, however the flavor is so much better with fresh, ripe juicy peaches that you have just recently frozen yourself.

2. Do I really have to freeze the peaches first?

Yep! I have tried to skip that part and just blend the peaches fresh but the sorbet becomes icy and tough to scoop. Blending frozen peaches and then freezing again allows you to better control how firm the peach sorbet gets. That way it is still easy enough for you to scoop.

3. How long does it store?

Depending on how well you seal the container that your peach sorbet is stored in, it can last up to several months. You may just have to let it sit out for a bit at room temperature to make it easier to scoop.
