Why You'll Love This Recipe
When peaches are at their juiciest, I love turning them into this Ninja Creami peach sorbet. It's made with just peaches and a pinch of salt (the sugar is optional), and it takes only a few minutes of hands-on time. The Ninja Creami spins it into a creamy, scoopable sorbet that tastes like biting into a ripe peach.
I make it with fresh peaches in the summer, and I've also included a canned peach method below, so you can enjoy peach sorbet even when peaches are out of season.
If you prefer something creamier, try my vegan peach ice cream, which is made with vegan whipping cream. For more fruity Creami treats, my Ninja Creami Dole Whip, vegan mango ice cream, and vegan strawberry ice cream are favorites, along with vegan mint chocolate chip ice cream.
Looking for more ways to enjoy peaches? Try grilled peaches or a peach crisp with a scoop of Ninja Creami vanilla ice cream. And for more fruity desserts, you'll love this vegan lemon cake and vegan strawberry shortcake.
The Ingredients
Please refer to the recipe card for the full list of ingredients and quantities.
- Peaches: Use very ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor. Slightly overripe peaches are even better.
- Sugar (optional): Ripe peaches may not need any, but a little sugar makes the sorbet sweeter and less icy. Taste the blended peaches and add it if needed.
- Salt: Just a pinch brings out the peach flavor and balances the sweetness.
Fresh or Canned Peaches?
I make this sorbet with fresh peaches, which give you the most peach flavor in the summer when they're ripe and in season. Canned peaches are a popular way to make Ninja Creami peach sorbet year-round, since they come packed in syrup or juice. I haven't tested this. If you try it, use peaches canned in light syrup, heavy syrup, or juice rather than water, which tends to freeze icy and taste watered down.
How to Flavor Peach Sorbet
This peach sorbet is simple, so there's plenty of room to make it your own:
- Citrus: Add a little lemon, orange, or lime juice and zest.
- Juice: If the mixture doesn't reach the Max Fill line, top it off with peach, pineapple, or apple juice.
- Herbs: Blend in a few fresh mint or basil leaves.
- Other fruit: Swap up to half of the peaches for raspberries, strawberries, mango, or pineapple.
- Spices: Try a little fresh or ground ginger, cardamom, or a pinch of chili powder or cayenne.
- Mix-ins: Add a swirl of raspberry, strawberry, or peach jam, or mix in chopped nuts, toasted coconut, graham crackers, shortbread, or candied ginger.
How to Make Fresh Peach Sorbet (Ninja Creami)
Step 1: Blend. Peel the peaches if you like (see the FAQs), then pit and slice them. Blend the peaches, sugar (if using), and salt until completely smooth.
Step 2: Freeze. Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint, staying below the Max Fill line. Add the lid and freeze on a flat surface for 24 hours, until completely solid.
Step 3: Get it ready to spin. Remove the lid, place the pint in the outer bowl, and lock it into the Ninja Creami.
Step 4: Spin and serve. Process on the SORBET setting. If it's crumbly, press RE-SPIN. Serve right away, or freeze for a little while for a firmer texture.
Still crumbly after a re-spin? Add 1 Tablespoon of juice or plant-based milk and press RE-SPIN again.
To Make Peach Sorbet with Canned Peaches
I haven't tested this, but here's how canned peach sorbet is usually made in the Ninja Creami: Pour a 15.25-ounce can of peaches in light syrup, heavy syrup, or juice (not water) into the pint, with the liquid, staying below the Max Fill line. Level the top, add the lid, and freeze for 24 hours. Process on the SORBET setting, and re-spin if it's crumbly.
It's a simple way to enjoy peach sorbet year-round, even when fresh peaches are out of season.
FAQs
Canned peach sorbet is usually made with the peaches and their syrup or juice, not drained, since the liquid adds sweetness and helps the sorbet turn out smooth. Skip peaches canned in water. I haven't tested this.
Use the SORBET setting. If the sorbet looks crumbly after the first spin, press RE-SPIN. If it's still crumbly, add 1 Tablespoon of juice or plant-based milk and re-spin again.
The easiest way to peel peaches is to blanch them. Score an X on the bottom of each peach, boil them for 30 to 45 seconds, then move them to an ice bath. Once they're cool enough to handle, the skin peels right off, starting at the X.
No. Once the peaches are blended and spun in the Ninja Creami, you won't notice the skin. The sorbet will just be a little darker, with tiny flecks.
Yes, if you thaw and drain them first, though frozen peaches usually have less flavor than ripe fresh peaches.
This sorbet is made with just fruit, so it's light and refreshing. My Ninja Creami vegan peach ice cream adds vegan whipping cream and sweetened condensed coconut milk for a richer, creamier scoop.
Toni's Recipe Tips
- Pick ripe peaches: Juicy, ripe, in-season peaches make the most flavorful sorbet. Slightly overripe is even better.
- Adjust the sugar: Sweetness fades a little after freezing, and a bit more sugar makes the sorbet less icy, so taste and adjust based on your peaches.
- Don't overfill: Stay below the Max Fill line so you don't strain the blade or the machine.
- Freeze it flat: Freeze the pint level for the full 24 hours so it spins evenly.
- Re-spin if needed: If it's crumbly after the first spin, add 1 to 2 Tablespoons of juice or plant-based milk and press RE-SPIN. Repeat if needed.
Storage Instructions
Level the surface, add the lid, and freeze for 2 to 3 weeks. Before serving, let it sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes, then re-process on the SORBET setting.
Keep leftovers in the Ninja Creami pint. Moving the sorbet to another container shortens how long it keeps and makes it harder to re-spin.
