This peach sherbet is a refreshing treat, made with just two simple ingredients—peaches and sweetened condensed milk. Perfect for hot days!
Making this sherbet is a breeze! Just blend, freeze, and enjoy. Honestly, the hardest part is waiting for it to set. But hey, good things come to those who wait! 😄
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Peaches: Fresh peaches are ideal for their wonderful flavor, but you can use frozen peach slices for convenience. Just let them thaw a bit before blending to ease the process. If you’re short on peaches, try substituting with other fruits like mango or strawberries for a different twist!
Sweetened Condensed Milk: This is key for that creamy texture and sweetness. If you need a dairy-free option, coconut milk can be a great alternative. Just note that it may add a subtle coconut flavor, which can be pleasant in peach sherbet!
How Do I Ensure a Smooth and Creamy Sherbet?
The blending process is crucial for achieving that smooth texture. Make sure to blend your peach slices and condensed milk until there’s no chunkiness left. Here’s a simple tip:
- Start with your peaches at room temperature or slightly thawed if frozen; this helps them blend smoothly.
- Don’t rush it! Blend on high for a minute or two, stopping to scrape down the sides if necessary.
- If the mixture seems too thick, you can add a splash of milk or juice to help it along.
How to Make Easy 2 Ingredient No Churn Peach Sherbet
Ingredients You’ll Need:
For the Sherbet:

How Much Time Will You Need?
This delicious sherbet requires about 10 minutes of prep time and then needs to freeze for at least 4 to 6 hours. So, plan to make it ahead of time to enjoy a refreshing treat later!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare the Peaches:
If you’re using fresh peaches, start by peeling, pitting, and slicing them into smaller pieces. If you opted for frozen peaches, let them thaw a bit first, just enough to make blending easier. This will help ensure a smooth texture in your sherbet.
2. Blend the Mixture:
In a blender or food processor, combine the peach slices and the sweetened condensed milk. Blend everything together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You want to make sure there are no peach chunks left!
3. Taste and Adjust Sweetness:
Give your mixture a taste. If you think it could be sweeter, feel free to add a little more condensed milk or sprinkle in a bit of sugar. Blend again if you added anything!
4. Prepare for Freezing:
Pour the peach mixture into a loaf pan or any airtight container you have handy. Spread it out evenly so it will freeze uniformly. Cover the container tightly with a lid or plastic wrap.
5. Freeze the Sherbet:
Place the container in the freezer and let it freeze for at least 4 to 6 hours, or until it’s fully frozen and firm. It’s essential to be patient; the wait will be worth it!
6. Serve Your Sherbet:
When you’re ready to enjoy your peach sherbet, take it out of the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes. This will help it soften a bit for easier scooping. Grab your ice cream cones or bowls and scoop out servings of your creamy sherbet. Enjoy the refreshing taste of summer!
Can I Use Other Fruits for This Sherbet?
Absolutely! You can substitute peaches with other fruits like strawberries, mangoes, or raspberries. Just ensure the fruit is ripe and sweet for the best flavor. Adjust the sweetness accordingly based on the fruit’s natural sweetness!
How to Store Leftover Sherbet?
Store any leftover sherbet in an airtight container in the freezer. It should last for up to 2-3 weeks. If it becomes too hard, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping to make it easier to serve.
Can I Make This Sherbet Vegan?
Yes! You can easily make this recipe vegan by substituting sweetened condensed milk with a can of coconut cream or a dairy-free sweetened condensed milk alternative. The flavor may change slightly, but it will still be delicious!
What if My Sherbet is Too Soft?
If your sherbet turns out too soft after freezing, it could be due to using too many peaches or not freezing it long enough. Try pouring the mixture into a shallow container to freeze it more evenly, or let it freeze for an additional few hours until it reaches your desired consistency.
