This easy sauce will become a new staple in your house for adding to desserts. It just takes things up a notch, kinda like lemon curd does.
Let's get to the recipe
Ingredients
Luckily you only need a few ingredients.
- Frozen Raspberries. You can use fresh raspberries too but generally, I always use frozen and save the fresh raspberries for garnishing.
- Granulated Sugar. Just a bit gives some nice sweetness to the coulis.
- Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice. I always use fresh-squeezed lemon for the best flavor.
- Cornstarch. You'll make a cornstarch slurry which will slightly thicken the coulis.
Instructions
We will cook the sugar and berries to start. In a small saucepan add the fresh or frozen raspberries and sugar.
Place saucepan over medium to low heat and cook for a few minutes until the sugar dissolves.
In a small bowl mix lemon juice and cornstarch together to create a slurry, this will thicken the coulis. Then pour the slurry into the saucepan.
Mix everything together and using a masher help break raspberries up, after 5 minutes of cooking over medium-low heat take the pot off of the heat and pour into a blender or food processor.
Let the mixture cool for 10-15 minutes then process raspberries until all liquid and no thick chunks of raspebrries remain. You'll now use a sieve to remove all the seeds.
Place a fine-mesh strainer over a large clean bowl and pour the sauce through the strainer, use a spatula to move the seeds around and help the liquid push through. This will take a few minutes, so the larger the strainer the better!
Pour sauce into an air-tight container and store in the fridge for a few hours before using.
Sauce keeps well for up to a week in the fridge or store in the freezer for up to three months, let the sauce thaw in the fridge overnight.
How to freeze
You can easily freeze this dessert sauce for up to three months. When you want to use the sauce just thaw it in the fridge overnight.
Can you double
You can totally double the recipe, just make sure to use a larger saucepan when cooking!

Can't even print without ads. So sad

Hi Thera, thanks for reaching out. So on the recipe card when you click on to print page a new page opens that does have ads on it but when you press print of that page you will see on the preview there are no ads. No ads on the actual page printed is something I had to have coded into my website because I didn't want anyone wasting a bunch of ink. The ads on my website are how my small business stays afloat, I know they are a pain and I am sorry about that but they are 100% necessary for my business, I hope you understand. IF for some reason you go to print a page and ads so print on the page please let me know because we worked hard to make ads not print, and every time I test it they do not print. Please let me know if you have any questions. Take care. XX Liz
