lil carb Peaches and Cream Sherbert

Watch me whip up this dessert! Click the video above!

Summer is here!  Which means where I live I can get the most gorgeous peaches you have ever seen. Jersey Peaches are ah-maze-in-gaaa! I decided to come up with a way to use this fresh, in-season fruit and still try to keep it relatively low carb.  Peaches have natural carbs of course and this recipe is about 10 grams of carbs per serving (depending on the size of your peaches).  Which isn't really that bad in the grand scheme of desserts. Plus I cannot deprive myself of seasonal fruits and veggies- it would be a crime! I don't make this every day but if you're looking for a healthy way to stay low carb and have some fruit- this recipe is where it is at!!


lil carb Peaches and Cream Sherbert- Makes 6 servings
6 peaches, peeled & cut into chunks (discarding the pit and stem)
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 cup cold water
2 squirts of liquid Truvia OR your favorite liquid sweetener
3 Tbsp heavy cream

In a blender add in all the ingredients and blend for about 2-3 minutes until all the peaches are blended into a smooth consistency.
Now- there are 2 options to making this into sorbet:

1. Add the blender mixture into a tuber ware container and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Then add to your ice cream maker and turn on.  It takes about 10-15 minutes for my ice cream maker to get to a nice sorbet consistency.
Serve with some whipped cream and you have the perfect summer, sweet treat!
Store in a tuberware in your freezer and follow #2 directions the next time you want a bite!
-OR-
2. Add the blender mixture into a tuber ware container and freeze for at least 4 hours.
After the mixture has become frozen take out and let sit at room temp for about 20-30 minutes then it will be easy to scoop out.
Serve with some whipped cream! ENJOY!
