Nothing feels like summer quite as much as a scoop of this white peach and orange blossom sorbet on a hot day The sweet fragrant peaches and a hint of delicate orange blossom come together in a light dairyfree treat that is as elegant for a dinner party as it is for an afternoon refreshment

I first tried making this on a whim during late July when our farmers market peaches were almost overripe It became an instant staple in my summer freezer for those moments when you crave a sweet treat but want something light and cooling

Ingredients

  • White peaches: bring juicy sweetness and distinct floral notes Make sure they feel heavy and yield slightly to the touch for best flavor and texture
  • Honey or agave syrup: just enough to accentuate the peach without overpowering it Pure local honey deepens the flavor while light agave keeps it vegan
  • Orange blossom water: the key to the sorbet’s unique aroma and flavor Choose a bottle labeled as pure for the most authentic floral taste
  • Lemon juice: balances the sweetness and brightens all the other flavors Use freshly squeezed lemon for pure tang and freshness

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Peaches:
Wash peel and pit the peaches then cut them into small chunks Unripe peaches will not have the right flavor or texture so wait for them to get perfectly ripe Freeze the chunks on a baking sheet lined with parchment in a single layer for at least four hours or overnight for the best creamy consistency
Combine in Blender:
Place the frozen peach chunks honey or agave orange blossom water and lemon juice into a highpowered blender or food processor I recommend adding the liquids first so the machine blends evenly
Blend Until Smooth:
Blend on high scraping down the sides as needed for up to two to three minutes Stop and check the consistency If the mixture is too thick for the blender add one tablespoon of cold water or peach juice at a time until it moves freely and becomes silky smooth
Serve or Freeze Again:
If you love super soft almost slushy sorbet serve straight from the blender For a more classic scoopable texture transfer to a freezer safe container and freeze for one to two more hours until set

Peach season always reminds me of visiting my grandmother who would slice fruit in the morning sun This orange blossom sorbet brings a modern twist but sparks all the same happy summer memories every time I make it

Storage tips

Store any extra sorbet tightly covered in an airtight container in your freezer It will keep its flavor and creamy texture best for up to one week After that it may form ice crystals so a piece of parchment pressed directly on the surface can help keep it smooth

Ingredient substitutions

If you cannot find white peaches try yellow peaches or even nectarines for similar sweetness and aroma Agave syrup provides a mild sweetness so maple syrup will give a richer flavor that works beautifully if you do not have agave or honey

Serving suggestions

Serve this sorbet on its own or scoop into elegant glasses and top with fresh mint leaves For a grownup touch a tiny splash of chilled prosecco over the sorbet is a stunning dinner party dessert
