Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium fresh peaches, peeled and pitted
- 1 cup (240 ml) prosecco, dry or extra dry
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) water
- Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish or blending
Instructions
- Prepare the peaches by peeling and pitting about 3 medium fresh peaches. For easier peeling, blanch in boiling water for 30 seconds then plunge into ice water.
- Place peeled peaches in a blender or food processor with 1/4 cup water and puree until silky smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Optionally strain through a fine mesh sieve for a smoother texture.
- Transfer peach puree to a mixing bowl. Stir in 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. Adjust sweetness and acidity to taste.
- Gently fold in 1 cup chilled prosecco, being careful not to stir vigorously to preserve bubbles.
- Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving some room at the top. Optionally add a small mint leaf inside each mold.
- Insert sticks and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
- To unmold, run warm water briefly over the outside of the molds and serve immediately.
Notes
Use ripe, fragrant peaches for best flavor. To keep prosecco bubbles, fold in gently and add a splash more prosecco before filling molds if fizz is lost. Frozen peaches can be used if fresh are unavailable. For non-alcoholic version, substitute prosecco with sparkling water or lemon-lime soda. Popsicles can be stored up to 2 weeks in an airtight container in the freezer.
