Easy Peach Sherbert

Fresh Georgia peaches and sweetened, condensed milk easily combine in a blender to make this refreshing and easy peach sherbert!

Is there anything better than a sweet, fresh, juicy Georgia peach in the middle of July? How about a SEMI LOAD of sweet, fresh, juicy Georgia peaches?

I discovered The Peach Truck this summer when my sister told me it was coming to our gorgeous local winery and vineyard, Gervasi. The Peach Truck goes on tour delivering fresh Georgia peaches from Tennessee up to Michigan, and they are LE-GIT. I’m always game for a little mid-day trip to a winery, especially if it involves anything foodie related, and I happened to have the day off so, fortunately, I was able to join my mom and sister on a Peach Truck excursion!

What I didn’t know is exactly how many peaches I had signed up for. Either my sister had severely underestimated the Peach Truck quantities or I was coerced on this peach mission with lies. Either way, I was sent home with more peaches than I knew what to do with and could possibly eat before they went bad.

After sharing a bunch with friends and family and eating a half dozen on my own, I was still left with a half dozen that needed to either be used, baked into a dessert or frozen! Since I wanted to make something that didn’t need to be gobbled up right away, I decided to whip up some peach sherbert. I found this 2 ingredient blender recipe from Tricia at Saving Room for Dessert and I was immediately sold by its simplicity! Add in these fresh Georgia peaches and you’ve got a killer summer sherbert!

EASY PEACH SHERBERT

  So because this recipe is so simple and will literally take 2 sentences to explain, let me distract you by talking about The Peach Truck some more! My sister and I had imagined this adorable little brightly colored food truck with a little southern man handing us little brown paper bags full of peaches. (I’m really not sure why we thought everything was going to be miniature…) However, it turned out to be a GIANT semi load of boxes upon boxes of peaches!To get your peaches, you get in the peach line, order and pay for how many boxes you want (yup, no bags, only big boxes!), and they give you these adorable peach tokens to take to the loading guys! I’d like to give a special shout out to these guys who stated they were “Just peachy” when asked how they were doing. 🙂  Once you get up to the front of the line, you simply hand over your tokens, take your peaches and your peach mission is complete! Just look at these beauties! So many opportunities. Roasted peaches anyone? How about a brie, bacon peach and basil flatbread? Or you could just eat them straight for the next 84 days! PS: I don’t know what Georgia is feeding their peaches down there but I’m pretty sure this one was eating the other peaches….Now that you’re well acquainted with my peaches (sorry, that sounds dirtier than anticipated…), let’s get into the peach sherbert recipe!

You’re going to start by slicing 6 fresh, ripe peaches and freezing them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You can peel them if you’d like, but you don’t have to. After about 4 hours, add the peaches and 1 can of sweetened, condensed milk into a blender. Puree until the consistency of soft serve ice cream, then serve immediately or freeze until ready to eat.

This may go without saying, but keep in mind that the flavor will only be as good as your peaches, so make sure you’re using the best, and most fresh ones you can find! Pre-frozen peaches will not give you the same flavor as fresh!

That’s it! If freezing before serving, you may need to let it set out for a while to be soft enough to easily scoop but after that dig in and enjoy! 🙂
