Total Time:20 minutes (plus 3-4 hours freezing time)
Yield:5 servings 1x
Ingredients
Scale
5 cups ripe peaches (peeled, pitted, and sliced)
1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on sweetness of peaches)
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3/4 cup water
1 tablespoon honey (optional, for added depth)
Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Pinch of salt (optional, to enhance flavor)
Instructions
Wash, peel, and slice the peaches, removing pits completely.
Add peaches, sugar, lemon juice, water, and optional honey into a blender.
Blend until completely smooth and silky.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or acidity as needed.
Pour the mixture into a shallow baking dish and spread evenly.
Place the dish in the freezer and freeze for 3 to 4 hours or until fully solid.
Remove from freezer and let sit for 3–5 minutes if too hard.
Use a fork to scrape the frozen surface into fine, fluffy ice crystals.
Continue scraping until the entire mixture has a shaved ice texture.
Serve immediately in chilled bowls or cups.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves or peach slices if desired.
Notes
Always use ripe and juicy peaches for the best flavor.
Adjust sugar depending on the natural sweetness of the fruit.
A shallow dish ensures even freezing and easier scraping.
If mixture freezes too hard, allow it to soften slightly before scraping.
Can be stored in freezer for up to 1 week in airtight container.
Re-scrape before serving to restore texture.
Add berries or citrus for flavor variations.
A pinch of salt enhances the natural sweetness of peaches.
Best served immediately after scraping for ideal texture.
