It feels like we’ve been waiting SO long to bring you this amazing recipe. This is the final installment of A Moveable Feast and we may have saved the best for last. Balsamic Peach and Basil Sorbet is the perfect way to cool down during these hot August days. Smooth, creamy, flavorful and healthy, this is the perfect ending to any meal. Or mid-day-cool-down-treat. Or post-work-out-snack. Surely you will find so many uses for this sorbet, you will wonder where it’s been all of your life. And even better, this Balsamic Peach and Basil Sorbet is brought to you in partnership with Queen Creek Olive Mill!
As we’ve said before (and we’ll say it again), we are obligated to let you know we are being compensated for this post, but trust me, both Holly and I were using Queen Creek Olive Mill’s products loooonnnng before our partnership so don’t worry, all of these views are completely are own! (In fact head over to our Insta feed where tomorrow I’ll show you a peak of how many of their products that I’ve bought for myself and use everyday!)
But enough of that legal mumbo jumbo-let’s talk SORBET!! This Balsamic Peach and Basil Sorbet was developed for our Moveable Feast dinner party as we felt we needed a palate cleanser, yet we wanted something that everyone would want more of! Something my kids would love. Something my husband would ask me to make again. And something just a little bit different.
We started with juicy ripe peaches, a touch of lime juice, a healthy dose of Queen Creek’s Peach White Balsamic Reduction and finished with Queen Creek’s Fresh Crush Basil Olive Oil. Perfection!
So here, here for all of those ripe, juicy, end of the summer peaches that are just begging for a recipe! Dust off your ice cream maker (or if you need one, this is the one I use and love!), gather your supplies and head to the kitchen to make your own batch of this flavorful treat!
Since we know you’re going to want to save this one, below is the perfect pin for your favorite Pinterest Board!

Balsamic Peach and Basil Sorbet
Ingredients
- 3 pounds peaches you can use fresh or frozen
- 1 Tablespoon lime juice
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 Tablespoons Peach White Balsamic Reduction from Queen Creek Olive Mill
- 1 Tablespoon Basil Olive Oil from Queen Creek Olive Mill
- Chopped Fresh basil for garnish optional
Instructions
-
Slice and pit peaches and place into the bowl of a large food processor.
-
Add lime juice, sugar and salt.
-
Puree in the food processor until smooth.
-
Place peach puree through a mesh strainer to remove the skins of the peaches (you can skip this step if you used frozen peaches without skins).
-
Place into a freezer safe container, press a piece of plastic wrap against the surface of the sorbet and chill for 3 hours in the refrigerator.
-
Add the cold peach puree to the bowl of your ice cream maker.
-
Add the Peach White Balsamic Reduction and the Basil Olive Oil and churn the sorbet according to manufacturer instructions (for my ice cream maker it is approximately 25-30 minutes to get the desired consistency).
-
Chill for an additional 3 hours in the freezer until firm.
-
Garnish with chopped basil, a drizzle of Peach White Balsamic Reduction, or just serve as is!

That sounds beautiful! I am such a fan of balsamic and fruit…so good!
Thanks Rebecca! XOXO
What a great idea having the olive oil and balsamic reduction in the ice cream,…. such subtle add ins, that make such a punch. It still so hot here in Cali I look forward to being able to make it for a couple of months!
Let us know what you think! It’s flavorful and super refreshing!
This sounds sooo good. I haven’t eaten nearly enough peaches yet this year and summer is almost over! I love balsamic in dessert recipes too so this sound perfect. We have a ton of local peaches in stores right now, so I better grab some before it’s too late!
The peaches have been amazing this year! If you like peaches, check out our grilled peach and arugula salad too!
Oh mylanta! This looks amazing! Peach Balsamic is to die for! I love putting it on fruit, so having it in a sorbet would be lovely!
It’s SO, SO good :)!
This sounds and looks so amazing!
Thanks! My family is hooked!
Oh my goodness gracious– um, YES please! Sounds divine and so creative.
Thanks Hayley! And it’s easy too!
YUM! That looks so good. I’ve never thought to add balsamic to sorbet but it sounds really good! I’ll definately attempt this at some point!
It’s so flavorful! Let us know if you try it!
Oh my YUM! I had an ice cream dish once with both balsamic and olive oil and was a little hesitant. I’ve been craving it ever since! It was fabulous! I’ll have to try this recipe. Thank you!
I agree, it sounds odd, but it IS amazing! Flavorful and smooth. Thanks for visiting!

Super delicious! I made everyone at my bookclub try it last night-it was a hit!

And it’s easy!
This looks so yummy and refreshing.
Super refreshing!! Thanks for visiting!

Thanks Meg!
I had no idea you could make a dessert with olive oil! Aaand this is a pretty do-able one, too.
Your white balance is beautiful–what camera/editing software are you using?
We use olive oil for everything! We both use a Nikon D5500, usually with a 50mm lens (sometimes I pull out my 35mm). We both use Lightroom for editing. I’m heading to Pinch of Yum’s Photography workshop next week and I am SO, SO excited! I feel like there is always SO much to learn!
I can’t wait to make this sorbet! The flavor combination sounds heavenly!
It’s really fun, a little different, but not crazy out there. It works!
this sounds so delightful and refreshing! I cannot wait to try!
It’s delicious! You’ll love it!
This is beautiful!
Thanks Ashley!
This sounds incredible! What a delicious idea for a summer treat!
Thank you!
Wow! This sounds amazing! I’ve never made my own sorbet or ice cream before, so I’ll have to check out that ice cream maker you suggested. Sounds like a wonderful flavor combination.
I use my ice cream maker frequently-such great flavors can be made and my kids love it!
that’s so interesting! i can’t wait to try it.
It’s delicious! You’ll love it!
This sounds absolutely delightful!!! I am terrible in the kitchen… can I come over to try some?! HAHA, but in all seriousness, this sounds so good I might have to just give a try! These hot summer nights call for this kind of treat!! XO

Ah peaches – one of my favorite flavors of summer! This looks delish. I would totally enjoy this in the crazy Texas heat!
The peaches this year have been excellent-perfect for this sorbet!
Looks delicious! My daughter really loves peach flavor.
Then she would LOVE this sorbet!
Hi there! This is so exciting, I’m GF and Dairy free and just picked up some SC orchard peaches for a family cookout. This sounds like the perfect recipe! (We had homemade strawberry basil as one of our wedding ice creams so this will be special!) question…is she cream maker necessary? Any other options?
I like the ice cream maker because of the texture it produces, but you could always try just freezing the base mixture, the texture may not be the exact same, but I’m sure it will still be great!
