Easy Strawberry Peach Sorbet

You only need three ingredients to make this creamy, dreamy strawberry peach sorbet! No ice cream maker required.

Why we love this recipe

I’m going to go on record right here and say it: I am anti-ice cream maker. 

There’s something about making the custard (terrifying enough) and making sure the ice cream maker insert is frozen enough, and going through all the churning and never knowing for sure if you are going to end up with ice cream or a really sweet-tasting soup that makes me want to bolt for the nearest Dairy Queen. 

But sorbet that you can make in your food processor in 10 minutes flat (after you freeze the delicious ingredients)?  Sorbet made of fresh strawberries and peaches?  Sorbet that comes out perfectly every single time?  Yup, I’m going to go on record right here and say I’m in!

What is sorbet?

Sorbet is a dairy-free frozen dessert made primarily from fruit, sugar, and water. It is pureed to create a smooth, icy texture. It is sometimes confused with sherbet, which is also made with fruit and sugar but does include some kind of dairy (and check out this super easy strawberry sherbet recipe!)

Ingredients you need

Ingredient notes and substitutions

• Peaches: Local peaches are best if you can find them! Look for peaches that have a little give when you press on them.
• Strawberries: Local strawberries are also the best! Look for a deep red color with no wet bits on the berries.

How to make this recipe

STEP 1: Lay some peeled and chopped peaches and chopped strawberries on a baking sheet lined with non-stick foil or parchment paper. Freeze them until they are solid – we recommend overnight!

STEP 2: Place frozen fruit and sugar in food processor and process for about 5 minutes, scraping down sides occasionally.  Cover your ears, because the first minute or two is going to be LOUD.  You should stop the processor once or twice to scrape down the sides.It will seem grainy at first, but those are teensy ice pieces that will quickly melt into your sorbet once it’s done.

And that, my friends, is it!  You will have a lovely, creamy, soft sorbet!  If you like your sorbet a little firmer, put it in a bowl and pop it in the freezer for an hour or two.  Peach strawberry sorbet heaven, and exactly no ice cream maker required!

Strawberries are obviously a key ingredient in this recipe, and here’s a handy guide to everything you need to know about buying, storing and prepping these delicious fruits.
