Instructions
Sorbet Preparation
- 1Combine peaches, sugar, lemon juice, almond extract, and water in a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth.
- 2Pour the peach mixture into a shallow freezer-safe container. Cover and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until solid enough to scoop. Stir every hour for the first 3 hours to prevent ice crystals.
Toasting Almonds
- 1While the sorbet is freezing, spread the sliced almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- 2Toast in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Watch carefully to prevent burning. Let cool completely.
Serving
- 1Once frozen, remove the sorbet from the freezer and let it soften for a few minutes if too hard.
- 2Scoop the Maltese peach sorbet into individual serving bowls or glasses and garnish with the toasted almonds.
