Ingredients (4 servings)
- 400 g frozen peach slices
- 200 g low-fat Greek yogurt (or Skyr)
- 100 g low-fat cottage cheese
- 15 g honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Step 1 – Prepare the ingredients
Add the frozen peach slices to a high-speed blender or food processor. Then add the Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, honey, vanilla extract, and fresh lemon juice. Make sure the peaches are fully frozen, as this is what creates the thick, ice-cream-like texture without needing any additional ice. If your peaches have been frozen for a long time and are stuck together, let them sit at room temperature for 2–3 minutes so they’re easier to blend.
Step 2 – Blend until creamy
Start blending on a low speed and gradually increase to high. At first, the mixture may look crumbly or too thick, but keep blending and stop occasionally to scrape down the sides with a spatula. After about 1–2 minutes, the peaches will begin to break down and combine with the dairy ingredients. Continue blending until the mixture becomes completely smooth, creamy, and uniform in color with no visible peach chunks remaining.
Step 3 – Adjust the texture
Check the consistency of the sorbet. It should be thick, creamy, and easy to scoop, similar to soft-serve ice cream. If it seems too thick and your blender is struggling, add 1–2 tablespoons of milk and blend again. If it becomes too soft, simply add a few extra frozen peach slices and blend until the texture is thick and creamy again.
Step 4 – Freeze for a firmer sorbet
For a soft-serve style dessert, you can enjoy it immediately. For a more traditional scoopable sorbet texture, transfer the mixture into a loaf pan or airtight container and spread it evenly with a spoon. Place it in the freezer for 1–2 hours until slightly firmer. Avoid freezing it overnight at this stage, as it can become too hard to scoop directly.
Step 5 – Serve and enjoy
Remove the sorbet from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before serving. Scoop it into bowls or glasses and enjoy it as is, or top it with fresh peach slices, crushed biscuits, granola, or a drizzle of honey. The result is an incredibly creamy, peach-packed frozen dessert that tastes like peach cheesecake while being high in protein and made from simple ingredients. 🍑✨

Benefits
High in protein
Thanks to the Greek yogurt, Skyr, and cottage cheese, this sorbet is much more filling than regular fruit sorbet. It helps keep you satisfied for longer and makes the recipe feel more like a proper snack or dessert.
Creamy without heavy cream
Even though it tastes rich and smooth, it does not need heavy cream, condensed milk, or lots of added fat. The yogurt and cottage cheese create a cheesecake-like texture while keeping it lighter.
Naturally sweet
Most of the sweetness comes from the peaches themselves. You only need a small amount of honey, so the flavor stays fruity, fresh, and not overly sugary.
No protein powder needed
This is great if you want a high-protein dessert without the artificial taste or gritty texture that protein powder can sometimes create.
Simple ingredients
Everything is easy to find: frozen peaches, yogurt, cottage cheese, honey, vanilla, and lemon juice. No complicated ingredients or special additives.
Perfect for cravings
It tastes like peach cheesecake ice cream, but it is much lighter. It is perfect when you want something cold, sweet, and creamy without reaching for regular ice cream.
Great for meal prep
You can make a batch ahead of time and keep it in the freezer. Let it soften for a few minutes before scooping, and you have a quick healthy dessert ready whenever you want.
Refreshing and summer-friendly
The frozen peaches and lemon juice make it bright, fruity, and refreshing — perfect for warm days or after a workout.
If you’re looking for a frozen treat that tastes indulgent but is made from simple, wholesome ingredients, this Peach Cheesecake Protein Sorbet is hard to beat. It’s incredibly creamy, naturally sweet from the peaches, and has a rich cheesecake-like flavor thanks to the combination of Greek yogurt and cottage cheese.
I love making this on hot afternoons, after a workout, or whenever I’m craving ice cream but want something a little more balanced and protein-packed. The texture is smooth, refreshing, and surprisingly satisfying for such a simple recipe.
