The splash of vodka we add to this sorbet recipe is the key to a smooth frozen treat. The alcohol helps prevent big ice crystals from forming, making the sorbet easier to scoop out of the loaf pan. Just don’t add more than a couple of tablespoons—too much alcohol will cause the sorbet to melt faster.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 servings

Ingredients

4 medium peaches, peeled, chopped, frozen (about 4 cups)
1/2 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
2 Tbsp. vodka
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp. honey
6 oz. fresh blackberries, halved
2 tsp. fresh lemon juice

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Process peaches, yogurt, vodka, salt, and 1/4 cup honey in a food processor or blender until smooth. Pour peach mixture into a loaf pan (a metal pan will conduct cold more efficiently than tempered glass) and place a piece of parchment paper on top, pressing directly onto surface. Freeze until sorbet is firm, about 6 hours.

    Step 2

    A little before serving, lightly crush half of the blackberries in a small bowl. Add lemon juice, remaining berries, and remaining 2 Tbsp. honey and let sit, tossing occasionally, until berries have released some of their juices, about 20 minutes.

    Step 3

    Scoop sorbet into bowls and top with macerated blackberries.

  2. Do Ahead

    Step 4

    Sorbet can be made 3 days ahead. Keep frozen. Thaw in refrigerator 30 minutes before scooping into bowls.
