This light, easy dessert blends a fresh peach purée and yogurt. No ice cream machines are necessary, just a touch of gelatin for structure, and a stint in your freezer. For that matter, it tastes wonderful even without freezing. Leave skins on the fruit for a peachy color.

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Stir together sugar, gelatin and peach purée in a medium saucepan and let sit for 10 minutes. Prepare an ice bath while you wait.

  2. Step 2

    Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Simmer for about 5 minutes, until it turns a shade darker in color, then strain mixture through a fine-meshed sieve into a large bowl. Set bowl over ice and let mixture cool for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

  3. Step 3

    Add yogurt to the mixture and whisk to combine.

  4. Step 4

    Pour into a 1-quart loaf pan or glass pie pan. Place in the freezer for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

  5. Step 5

    To serve, scoop out and arrange on dessert plates. Garnish with raspberries and peach slices, if you wish.

I realize this is not super helpful for people following the recipe, but I converted this to a peach custard/ mousse that is so so good. What I did: rough puréed 3 cups of peaches and nectarines (to use up what I had), then added 1/3 cup of sugar and 2 T (2 packets) of gelatin. I let that bloom then heated to a simmer until dark gold, removed from the heat to cool, and mixed 2.25 cups of vanilla yogurt in without straining the puree. I put it in the refrigerator to set.

I’ve made this twice, 1st with white nectarines and then with yellow peaches. Left skins on and blended them in a high speed blender. I strained the 1st, but lost too much pulp, so didn’t strain the 2nd. Used gelatine in the 1st, but the texture was a bit gummy. I looked at “Hello, My Name Is Ice Cream” under stabilizers, and chose tapioca flour. I used 1 tsp tapioca flour mixed into ~ 1 oz cold water, stirred in after cooking. Residual heat is enough. Texture is smooth. Highly recommend it.

Thank you, nuriya75, for tips on revising this recipe into a mousse. My partner must restrict his sugar, and your revisions made for a delicious dessert. Once the mousse has set, just place the raspberries on top and, voila, you have a lovely presentation.

This is not a sorbet, but possibly a sherbet. Sorbets contain NO DAIRY. It’s an important difference for folks with allergies

Great recipe! I've made this with both fresh and canned peaches, and then also, with a mix of both peaches and (frozen) raspberries for the purée. Quick to prep, and has worked out well each time.
