Peach Slush With Blueberries
A refreshing peach slush blended with blueberries, sour cream, and vanilla, perfect for summer gatherings or a cool treat on warm days.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Arrange peaches in a single layer in a jelly roll pan and freeze for 30 to 45 minutes.
- When frozen, put peaches in a food processor with the sugar, water, lemon juice, and vanilla extract and process until slushy.
- Add the sour cream with the machine running and process until smooth.
Tips & Substitutions
For a sweeter slush, consider using ripe peaches and adjusting the sugar to taste. If fresh peaches aren't available, frozen peaches can be a great substitute. You can also experiment by adding a splash of peach schnapps for an adult version. For a lighter texture, use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, which can also add a nice tang.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the peach slush in chilled glasses, garnished with fresh blueberries and mint sprigs for a beautiful presentation. This dish pairs wonderfully with a slice of Almond Sour Cream Pound Cake for a delightful dessert duo. You can also enjoy it as a refreshing summer treat or as part of a brunch spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover slush in an airtight container in the freezer. To reheat, let it sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before scooping it back into the food processor for a quick blend. This will help restore its slushy texture, making it refreshing again.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I make this recipe dairy-free?
To make the peach slush dairy-free, substitute sour cream with a non-dairy yogurt or coconut cream. These alternatives will keep the slush creamy while accommodating dairy-free diets. Just ensure that any sugar used is also dairy-free.
Can I add alcohol to this slush?
