Delicious homemade peach sorbet recipe with natural peaches, banana, and coconut milk
Ingredients
- 2 cups seasonal fruit, fresh or frozen
- 1 banana for smooth texture (optional)
- 1 cup coconut milk or fresh fruit juice
Instructions
- In a large blender or food processor, combine all ingredients. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until completely smooth. It should still be a thick puree.
- Pour into a freezer safe container and freeze 1-2 hours.
- Remove from freezer and re-blend or puree with hand blender to get smooth consistency.
- Return to freezer for another 1-2 hours until soft set.
Notes
Feel free to mix and match fruits and mix-ins to customize this sorbet to your family's tastes. If you have a strong enough blender to handle it, starting with frozen fruit will greatly speed up the process. For an even faster method, put the fruit puree in a gallon-size Ziploc bag and put in a plastic or metal container with a lid. Surround the bag with ice, put on the lid of the bucket, and shake or roll for about 20-30 minutes (great job for kids). This will thicken it faster and make smoother ice cream.
