Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup (240 ml) dry sparkling wine (Prosecco recommended)
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons honey or simple syrup (maple syrup as vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Peel and slice peaches by blanching in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunging into ice water. Slice into roughly 1-inch pieces.
- Place sliced peaches, lemon juice, honey or syrup, vanilla extract (if using), and a pinch of salt into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and silky.
- Pour the peach puree into a bowl and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to chill.
- Gently fold the sparkling wine into the chilled peach puree, stirring slowly to preserve bubbles.
- Pour the mixture evenly into prepared popsicle molds, leaving room at the top for expansion. Insert sticks.
- Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until solid. Four hours may suffice but texture will be less firm.
- To unmold, dip molds briefly in warm water for 10-20 seconds and serve immediately.
Notes
Chill the peach puree before folding in sparkling wine to preserve bubbles. Use dry prosecco for best flavor balance. Let popsicles rest a few minutes at room temperature before serving for easier eating. Avoid vigorous stirring to keep fizz.
