You’ll love this Sparkling Peach and Thyme Sorbet that is refreshing and easily made fresh peaches, lemon juice, honey and champagne!
Ohh how I love summer! It literally is my favorite time of the year and even though this is when I should be eating the healthiest, (let’s be honest) I can’t get enough of all the sweet treats this season has to offer! Umm can we say froyo?? Well one thing I DO know is there is no healthier way to splurge on your favorite treats than by simply making them yourself. One item that I literally don’t think I could do without in the summer is my Cuisinart ice cream maker from HSN. Seriously folks, this little gem is amazing and not only makes everything super creamy, but takes little to no effort and just 20 minutes of your time!
Win win.
HSN does wonders in helping me stock up my kitchen with fabulous products that I’m able to use in my everyday life. Not only do they have my favorite culinary tools from exclusive brands and chefs such as Wolfgang Puck and the gorgeous Curtis Stone, but with HSN’s FlexPay Program, you can splurge on all those must-have items you’ve been swooning over without worrying about paying in full!
When my ice cream maker first arrived, I was dead set on making a skinny ice cream because if anyone knows me, they KNOW I’m obsessed with it. But then I saw a ton of gorgeous fresh peaches on sale and just knew I had to make a yummy sorbet. There is nothing better than an ice cold frozen treat on a hot summer’s day and since this season is made for happy hours and time spent with friends, I decided to throw in a little champagne for fun!To lighten this up I used about half the sugar a typical sorbet would have and replaced it with organic honey and a bit of lemon juice. This dessert was perfectly sweet without being too overpowering and the fresh thyme added a nice savory element to the overall dish. I hope you enjoy this as much as we did!

No hesitation: this is my favourite summer treat! 😉
DO you think it is somehow possible to make it without a sugar? I’m having a sugar free month. But this dessert looks so delicious and I really want to make it! Can I use just more honey or maple syrup, instead of sugar??
That looks pretty amazing!!!

That looks delicious! My mouth is watering… I have to say- I cringed at the buy-now-pay-later part of this post. If a person doesn’t have cash money to pay for an ice cream maker, they probably shouldn’t be buying one… just sayin’.
Looks fabulous…I just knew the ice cream maker we got years ago for a wedding gift would come in handy. Thanks for all the delectable, yet healthy goodies!
Pretty sorbet, love the peach & thyme combo!
oo look at that! so refreshing!
