Why Raspberry Coulis Works So Well
A raspberry coulis is a smooth fruit sauce that’s perfect for adding colour, freshness and natural sweetness to desserts.
Its slightly tart flavour balances rich puddings beautifully, making it an ideal topping for:
- Cheesecakes
- Profiteroles
- Chocolate desserts
- Ice cream
- Panna cotta
- Brownies
It’s also a fantastic make-ahead recipe, so you can prepare it in advance before entertaining guests.
Easy Raspberry Coulis Recipe
Ingredients
- 200g fresh or frozen raspberries
- 2 tablespoons icing sugar
- A tiny drop of red food colouring (optional)
Method
- Place the raspberries and icing sugar into a saucepan over a medium heat.
- Stir continuously until the raspberries have softened and released their juices.
- Remove from the heat and transfer the mixture to a blender. Blend for around 30 seconds until completely smooth.
- Pour the mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl to remove the seeds and create a silky-smooth coulis.
- If you’d like a more vibrant colour, stir in a tiny drop of red food colouring.
- Leave to cool before serving.
How to Serve Raspberry Coulis
This versatile fruit sauce can be served in several ways:
- Drizzled over cheesecake
- Spooned onto profiteroles
- Swirled through ice cream
- Decoratively smeared across dessert plates
- Served in a ramekin for dipping fresh fruit
