Raspberry coulis is a simple yet elegant sauce that can elevate any dessert. Its vibrant red colour and tangy flavour make it a favourite among home cooks and professional chefs alike. This versatile sauce pairs wonderfully with a variety of sweet treats, from cheesecakes to ice creams, adding a touch of sophistication and a burst of fruity flavour.

Instructions

Combine ingredients

In a medium saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice.

Pro tip: If using frozen raspberries, there's no need to thaw them beforehand.

Cook the mixture

Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the raspberries break down and the mixture begins to simmer, about 5-7 minutes.

Pro tip: Avoid boiling too hard to prevent scorching.

Blend the sauce

Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Transfer to a blender and blend until smooth.

Pro tip: For a chunkier texture, use an immersion blender directly in the pot.

Strain the coulis

Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing with a spatula to extract as much liquid as possible.

Pro tip: This step removes the seeds for a smoother coulis.

Cool the coulis

Allow the strained coulis to cool completely at room temperature.

Store or serve

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or use immediately.

Pro tip: Serve cold or at room temperature over your favourite desserts.
