Whole peaches hollowed and filled with silky peach sorbet—juicy, refreshing and naturally fruity. A stunning make-ahead frozen dessert for warm days.
These Frozen Peach Sorbet Cups are the essence of summer—🍑 whole peaches turned into edible bowls filled with silky, fruity sorbet. If you love light, juicy desserts that feel elegant but require minimal effort, this recipe will quickly become a favourite. The combination of fresh peach pulp, vibrant juice, and a touch of glucose powder + super neutrose creates a sorbet that churns incredibly smooth while still tasting clean and natural.
Serving sorbet inside the peaches themselves instantly elevates this simple recipe into something restaurant-worthy. Each bite is cold, juicy and intensely peachy, with no dairy and no heaviness. These sorbet cups are also fully make-ahead, meaning you can prep everything in advance and simply pipe before serving—or even freeze them fully assembled.
They’re perfect for:
Hollowing and freezing the peaches creates natural mini bowls that stay firm and cold. They’re beautiful on a platter and keep the sorbet colder for longer. Leaving a bit of the inner flesh intact (not hollowing too much!) gives structure and preserves that fresh peach aroma.
This recipe uses glucose powder and super neutrose, which help create:
Even with these professional touches, the flavour remains fresh, bright, and true to the fruit.
You can prepare:
Letting the filled peaches soften for 5–10 minutes at room temperature ensures an ideal sorbet texture.
Laura: “Looked so elegant but was actually easy!”
Marco: “Amazing peach-forward flavour.”
Aya: “The perfect make-ahead dessert for a hot day.”
Can I make this without an ice cream maker?
Absolutely—your sorbet will still be delicious. Freeze the blended base and fork-scrape every 30–45 minutes until slushy, then freeze until firm enough to pipe. The texture won’t be quite as silky, but it works beautifully.
If you want a dessert that’s light but luxurious, simple but impressive, and bursting with fresh peach flavour, these Frozen Peach Sorbet Cups deliver every time. They’re refreshing, elegant, and guaranteed to shine at any summer gathering.
Enjoy every frosty, fruity spoonful! ❄️🍑💛

Choose ripe but still slightly firm peaches so they hold their shape once frozen.
Chill the sugar syrup completely before adding the peach pulp and juice for a smoother churn.
Do not hollow the peaches too aggressively—leave enough flesh so the shells stay sturdy.
If serving straight from the freezer, let the filled peaches sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes to soften slightly.
For extra peach flavour, use juice pressed from very ripe peaches rather than store-bought juice.

Slice the top off each peach at about three-quarters of its height to create a lid.
Gently twist and remove the pits, keeping the peaches as intact as possible.
Scoop out a little of the inner flesh with a spoon, enough to create a shallow cavity without breaking the skin. Reserve this flesh for the sorbet.
Arrange the hollowed peaches upright on a tray lined with baking paper so they stand steadily.
Freeze the peach shells for about 2 hours, until firm.
Heat the water in a saucepan over medium heat until hot but not boiling.
In a small bowl, whisk the superfine sugar, glucose powder and super neutrose.
Sprinkle the mix gradually into the hot water while whisking to avoid lumps.
Bring just to a boil, whisking until dissolved.
Pour into a heatproof container, cover and chill for 2 hours.
Add the peach pulp, peach juice and reserved chopped flesh to the chilled syrup.
Blend with an immersion blender until smooth.
Churn in an ice cream maker for 10–15 minutes until softly frozen.
Freeze for another 2 hours until firm enough to pipe.
Place frozen peach shells on a chilled tray.
Fill a pastry bag with the sorbet fitted with a 16 mm (⅝-inch) plain tip.
Pipe the sorbet into each peach shell, forming a smooth dome or swirl.
Serve immediately, or freeze again briefly until ready to serve.

I prepped the shells and sorbet the day before and just piped before serving. Perfect make-ahead dessert for a hot day.

Flavour was amazing and very peach-forward. I might add a squeeze of lemon next time for extra brightness, but the texture was spot on.

Made these for a summer dinner party and everyone loved that the sorbet was served inside the peaches. Looked so elegant but was actually quite easy!
