Peach Sorbet With Pineapple
A refreshing and fruity peach sorbet with a hint of pineapple, perfect for hot days or as a light dessert for summer gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Place half of the peaches and 2 tablespoons of apple juice in a food processor.
- Cover and process until smooth.
- Repeat with the remaining peaches and apple juice.
- Freeze the blended mixture for at least 2 hours or until icy.
- Scoop or spoon the sorbet over pineapple slices.
- If the sorbet becomes too firm to scoop, remove from freezer about 1 hour before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a tablespoon of lemon juice to enhance the flavor. If you don't have apple juice, you can substitute it with white grape juice or coconut water for a tropical twist. Ensure the peaches are fully frozen for the best results. Blend in small batches if necessary to achieve a smooth consistency.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the peach sorbet over fresh pineapple slices for a delightful contrast in flavors. It pairs beautifully with Tutti-Fruitti Punch for a refreshing summer treat. Consider adding a sprig of mint for garnish, or serve alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month. To enjoy again, let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before scooping. This allows it to soften slightly, making it easier to serve without losing its texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of frozen?
Yes, you can use fresh peaches, but you'll need to peel and slice them, then freeze them for a few hours before blending. This ensures the sorbet has the right texture and chill when served.
How can I adjust the sweetness of the sorbet?
If you prefer a sweeter sorbet, you can add a tablespoon of honey or agave syrup to the mixture before blending. Taste the mixture before freezing to determine if additional sweetener is needed.
Can I make this sorbet in advance for a party?
Absolutely! This sorbet can be made a day or two in advance. Just ensure it's stored properly in an airtight container and allowed to soften slightly before serving to maintain its ideal texture.
