Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Frozen Peach Slices: Using frozen peaches gives this sherbet its perfect texture. You can also use other frozen fruits like strawberries or mangoes if peaches aren’t available. Just keep in mind that the flavor will change slightly.
Sweetened Condensed Milk: This ingredient adds sweetness and creaminess without the need for heavy cream. If you’re looking for a lighter option, you can use a low-fat version, or unsweetened coconut milk can be a great dairy-free substitute, though the flavor will differ.
How Do I Blend Ingredients for the Right Consistency?
Getting the right smooth texture is key to a great sherbet. Start by letting the frozen peach slices sit out for a few minutes to soften slightly; it helps with blending.
- Use a high-speed blender or food processor for best results. Pulse the peaches first to break them up, then blend continuously.
- Scrape down the sides to incorporate any chunks. Blend until the mixture is creamy and there are no peach lumps left.
- Once you mix in the sweetened condensed milk, blend until it’s fully combined—you want a smooth, even texture.
Easy 2-Ingredient No Churn Peach Sherbet
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 4 cups frozen peach slices (about 1 lb)
- 1 1/2 cups sweetened condensed milk (one 14 oz can)
How Much Time Will You Need?
This recipe takes about 10 minutes to prepare and then an additional 4 hours to freeze the sherbet until it’s firm. That’s all the time you’ll need for a refreshing homemade treat!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare Your Peaches:
Start by placing the frozen peach slices in your food processor or blender. It’s important they are frozen so you get that perfect, creamy texture once blended.
2. Blend the Peaches:
Blend the frozen peaches until they start to break down and become a smooth puree. Don’t forget to stop and scrape down the sides as needed to incorporate all the peaches evenly.
3. Mix in the Sweetened Condensed Milk:
Add the sweetened condensed milk to the peach puree. This will sweeten it up and give it that creamy taste. Blend again until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
4. Transfer to a Container:
Once your mixture is ready, pour it into a loaf pan or any freezer-safe container. Use a spatula to smooth out the top, making sure it’s evenly spread.
5. Freeze the Sherbet:
Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. Let your sherbet freeze for at least 4 hours, or until it’s firmly set.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
When you’re ready to enjoy, scoop out the peach sherbet into cones or bowls. Take a moment to appreciate how easy and delicious it is savoring this homemade treat!
Can I Use Fresh Peaches Instead of Frozen?
While frozen peaches work best for this recipe to give that smooth texture, you can use fresh peaches! Just be sure to freeze them first for a few hours before blending so that your sherbet reaches the right consistency.
How to Store Leftovers?
Any leftover peach sherbet can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month. To serve, let it sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften slightly before scooping.
Can I Substitute the Sweetened Condensed Milk?
If you’re looking for a dairy-free option, you can substitute sweetened condensed milk with coconut cream mixed with a bit of sugar or a dairy-free sweetened condensed milk alternative. Just keep in mind it will alter the flavor slightly.
How Do I Make This Recipe Creamier?
For an even creamier texture, you can mix in a bit of heavy cream (about 1/2 cup) along with the sweetened condensed milk. This will enrich the flavors and create a silkier mouthfeel!
