Nothing screams summer more than a simple frozen dessert using farm-fresh peaches! A refreshing peach sorbet is the perfect way to capture the essence of the season. If you’re looking for the quickest route to this delightful treat, grabbing a frozen bag of peaches will do the trick. But if you’re feeling adventurous and have some ripe peaches on hand, go ahead and use those for an even fresher taste!
Fun fact: I once did a commercial for the Ninja CREAMi—it’s the most amazing ice cream machine, and this recipe would be incredible using the CREAMi too!
