How to Make Peach Juice Recipe with Peach Crumble Topping Recipe
Step 1: Prepare the Fruit
Start by peeling, pitting, and roughly chopping your peaches and mangoes. This preps them perfectly for juicing and ensures smooth results without any bitter peel or pits.
Step 2: Extract the Juice
Turn on a juice extractor to high speed, and add peaches one at a time. Alternate by adding mango pieces as you go. This layering technique helps blend the flavors beautifully and results in a silky smooth juice.
Step 3: Sweeten the Juice
Midway through juicing, drizzle a tablespoon of honey into the extractor. This natural sweetener heightens the fruit’s flavors without overpowering their freshness. Taste and adjust honey as you like.
Step 4: Chill and Garnish
Serve the juice chilled for maximum refreshment! Feel free to top it with a few thin peach slices for an inviting presentation.
Step 5: Preheat for the Crumble
Set your oven to 350°F (177°C) to get ready to bake the peach crumble topping. This temperature is ideal for crisping your topping to a golden perfection while keeping the pulp warm and flavorful.
Step 6: Prepare the Crumble Base
Collect the pulp left over from the juicing process and evenly distribute it into two 8 oz. ramekins. This ensures every bite is juicy and intense in peach flavor.
Step 7: Make the Crumble Topping
In a small bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cubed chilled butter, and light brown sugar. Use a fork or pastry cutter to press and blend these ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This blend is crucial for the perfect crumble texture.
Step 8: Assemble and Bake
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the peach pulp in each ramekin. Pop them in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the topping is lightly browned and crispy.
Step 9: Serve Warm
Once baked, serve your peach crumble hot, accompanied by fresh peach slices and, if you like, a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for that extra indulgent touch.

Garnishes
Fresh peach slices are a beautiful and natural garnish for both the juice and crumble, adding a vibrant burst of color and extra fruity flavor. A few mint leaves can also create a refreshing aroma that brightens the whole presentation.
Side Dishes
This dish pairs wonderfully with light and simple sides like almond biscotti or buttery shortbread cookies. These sides add a satisfying crunch that complements the soft textures of the crumble and juice.
Creative Ways to Present
For a chic twist, serve the peach crumble in clear glass ramekins to showcase the layers. Present the peach juice in tall, slender glasses with colorful straws and a sprig of fresh mint or edible flowers. This makes your Peach Juice Recipe with Peach Crumble Topping Recipe feel truly special and party-ready.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
You can store leftover peach juice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The crumble can be covered tightly with foil or plastic wrap and kept in the fridge for up to 2 days as well, though it’s best fresh.
Freezing
While the juice itself freezes well in ice cube trays or freezer-safe containers, the crumble topping is best enjoyed fresh and does not freeze well due to the butter content. Freezing may alter its texture.
Reheating
Reheat the peach crumble topping gently in the oven at 350°F (177°C) for about 8-10 minutes to restore its crispness before serving. Avoid microwaving as it can make the topping soggy.
FAQs
Can I use frozen peaches for this recipe?
Fresh peaches are ideal for this Peach Juice Recipe with Peach Crumble Topping Recipe to achieve the best flavor and texture. However, if using frozen peaches, thaw them completely and drain any excess liquid before juicing for a similar result.
