My mom dropped off a bag of frozen peaches she swore were 'too good to waste,' so into a pint they went with peach nectar and honey. Overnight in the freezer, then the Ninja Creami spun up this Peach Orchard Sorbet that tastes like a peach you'd eat over the sink. The honey keeps it from tasting flat the way plain peach can. Heads up, peaches freeze rock-hard, so let the pint sit on the counter two or three minutes before you spin or your machine will groan at you.
How it spins
Tip: freeze the pint on a level shelf for a full 24 hours. If the first spin looks crumbly, add a splash of milk and run Re-spin.
Ingredients
- Frozen Peach Slices2 cup
- Peach Nectar0.75 cup
- Honey1 tbsp
Directions
- 1Stir the frozen peaches together with peach nectar and honey.
- 2Transfer to a Creami pint, keeping it under the fill line.
- 3Freeze flat for roughly 24 hours.
- 4Install the pint and run SORBET.
- 5Add a splash of nectar and Re-spin if it crumbles.
- 6Serve right away.
Tips
- Freeze your pint completely flat and level in the freezer for at least 16 hours; a fully solid base spins into the creamiest texture, while partially frozen bases turn crumbly.
- If your sorbet comes out powdery or icy after spinning, add a splash of peach nectar or water and re-spin it once to smooth it out.
- Use fresh or high-quality frozen peach slices since they're your main flavor; mealy or low-grade peaches will taste thin even with honey and nectar added.
Variations
- Swap half the peach nectar for white grape juice for a lighter, more delicate flavor and a slightly different color.
- Add a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice to the base before freezing to brighten the peach taste and balance the honey's sweetness.
FAQ
- Can I use canned peaches instead of frozen peach slices?
- Canned peaches in syrup will work, but drain them well and skip or reduce the honey since canned fruit is already sweet. Frozen slices give you cleaner flavor control.
- Why did my sorbet come out grainy or chunky?
- Your pint likely wasn't completely solid before spinning, or it thawed slightly. Always freeze for at least 16 hours flat, and keep your freezer at 0Β°F or below. If it happens, add a small splash of liquid and re-spin.
- Can I make this lighter or less sweet?
- Yes, reduce the honey by half and add extra peach nectar to keep the right consistency when freezing. You can also swap some nectar for unsweetened peach juice or water.
- How long does frozen sorbet keep in the freezer?
- A frozen pint stays good for about 2 weeks if kept sealed and stored at 0Β°F; after that, ice crystals form and texture suffers. Spin and serve fresh for the best result.
