Make Your Own Sorbet
Only four main ingredients (peaches, coconut milk, apricots and dates) to make a simple and refreshing summer dessert. It’s a dairy-free, sugar-free treat anyone with a good blender can make. No ice cream maker required!
I’ve been trying to move my family away from dairy made ice cream but it’s been a struggle to find anything as creamy and satisfying. We’ve been making fruit only frozen pops but they weren’t feeling like enough of a substitute so we asked our partner, The Blender Girl to create a guilt-free dessert the whole family would love. She did not disappoint. The result is a creamy and sweet balance with a nice tang and lots of peach flavor.
If you have a blender and five minutes, you can make this simple dessert and feel good about serving it in your household.
Nutritional Benefits
Peaches make delicious and extremely healthy sorbet. A large, ripe peach has fewer than 70 calories and contains 3 grams of fiber. They’re also a good source of vitamins A and C. The peels and the pulp of peaches possess significant antioxidant properties, and are rich in phenolic and carotenoid compounds, which have cancer and tumor fighting abilities.
