There's nothing like a homemade sorbet to take full advantage of the intense, tangy fragrance of vine peaches. With Ninja Creami, the process is even simpler: mix, freeze, whirl... and you've got an ultra-smooth sorbet, just like at the ice cream parlour. This minimalist recipe, inspired by an “au pif” preparation, is ideal for sublimating seasonal peaches and indulging in a 100 % fruit dessert.
Vine peach sorbet
Course: SorbetDifficulty: Average4
portions15
minutesIngredients
5 ripe vine peaches
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
1 to 2 spoonfuls of cane sugar syrup (adjust according to sweetness of fruit)
1 fillet of agave syrup (optional, to compensate for a lack of natural sugar)
Directions
- Start by carefully peeling the peaches. The skin of vine peaches can be slightly thick or slightly bitter, so removing it makes for a softer, smoother sorbet. Then cut the fruit into pieces to facilitate blending.
- Place the pieces in a blender and add the lemon juice. Blend for a long time until you obtain a very fine purée. The more homogeneous the preparation at this stage, the more perfect the final texture will be after passing through the Creami.
- Taste the purée. If the peaches aren't very ripe, you can add a little cane sugar syrup to spice up the sweetness. If you want a rounder sweetness, add a drizzle of agave syrup. Blend again for a few seconds to incorporate everything.
- Pour the purée into the Ninja Creami jar. Tap the jar lightly on the work surface to remove any air bubbles that may affect the texture. Then smooth the surface with a spatula to obtain an even top.
- Close the jar and place it in the freezer for twenty-four hours. Make sure it lies perfectly flat, so that the sorbet sets evenly over the entire height of the jar.
- Once completely frozen, place the jar in the Ninja Creami and start the Sorbet program. The machine will break and cream the preparation to give it the ideal texture.
- If, at the end of the cycle, the sorbet appears slightly “brittle” or powdery, use the Re-spin function immediately. This second pass smoothes the texture and produces a much smoother sorbet.
- Serve the sorbet at the end of the cycle for a melting texture. If you prefer a firmer texture, return the jar to the freezer for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- If your peaches are very ripe and naturally sweet, you can do away with syrups altogether.
- For an even softer texture, add a spoonful of water or peach juice before freezing.
- Add a few basil, verbena or mint leaves when blending for a sublime aromatic touch.
- For a more gourmet version, mix a spoonful of Greek yoghurt into a Re-spin to create an ultra-smooth “creamel sorbet”.
- If you want to intensify the color, keep a small part of the skin and mix it with the rest.
