Print Recipe

A light and refreshing peach sorbet with a sophisticated twist of prosecco and honey basil, perfect for cooling off on hot summer days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large ripe peaches, peeled and pitted
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) dry prosecco
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) raw honey
  • 10–12 fresh basil leaves, gently torn
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) water
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Score a small ‘X’ on the bottom of each peach and blanch in boiling water for 30 seconds. Transfer immediately to ice water and peel off skins gently.
  2. Slice peeled peaches and blend in a blender or food processor until smooth, about 1-2 minutes. For extra smoothness, strain puree through a fine mesh sieve.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine water and honey. Heat gently until honey dissolves, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat, add torn basil leaves, and steep for 15 minutes. Strain out basil leaves.
  4. Mix peach puree, honey basil syrup, fresh lemon juice, and prosecco in a large bowl. Stir gently to combine and add a pinch of sea salt if desired.
  5. Cover and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  6. Pour chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn for 20-25 minutes until thick and creamy.
  7. Transfer sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for 2-3 hours to firm up.
  8. Let sorbet sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil leaves or a peach slice if desired.

Notes

If you don’t have an ice cream maker, freeze the mixture in a shallow container and stir vigorously every 30 minutes for about 4 hours to break up ice crystals. Use frozen peaches if fresh are unavailable. For a vegan version, substitute honey with agave syrup. Prosecco adds subtle fizz but can be replaced with sparkling water for an alcohol-free version.
