Raspberry Coulis

Simple and delicious raspberry coulis is made with a few ingredients. Use frozen raspberries to enjoy this raspberry sauce all year long. Perfect drizzled on top of cheesecake, pound cake, or ice cream, everyone loves this raspberry sauce 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!
