Raspberry Coulis Ingredients

  • 250g (8 oz) raspberries, fresh or frozen (no need to thaw)
  • 2 1/2 tbsp caster sugar (superfine sugar) or regular granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Heat and mash: Place the raspberries, caster sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. As the mixture heats, the raspberries will release their juice. Once the liquid begins to simmer and the raspberries soften, mash them with a fork to break down the fruit.
  2. Simmer and puree: Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 3 minutes. Then puree the mixture using a stick blender directly in the saucepan if submerged, or transfer to a jug to blend until smooth.
  3. Strain the coulis: Pour the pureed raspberry mixture through a fine sieve or strainer into a bowl, pressing with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible while removing the seeds. Discard the seeds.
  4. Cool and store: Let the strained coulis cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate until needed. The coulis will thicken when chilled. If it becomes too thick, thin it with a little water before serving. This sauce can be enjoyed cold or warmed slightly depending on your preference.

Notes

  • Using frozen raspberries is convenient and they do not need to be thawed before cooking.
  • Straining is optional but recommended for a smooth texture without seeds.
  • Coulis can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
  • If you prefer a sweeter sauce, adjust the sugar amount to taste.
  • This versatile coulis works great as a topping for ice cream, cheesecake, pancakes, or yogurt.
