Raspberry Coulis
Description
The Raspberry Coulis recipe begins with fresh raspberries blended together with powdered sugar for controlled sweetness, then passed through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds, resulting in a smooth and refined sauce. The addition of lemon juice balances the sweetness with a touch of acidity. The puréeing and straining steps produce a fluid coulis that pours easily over desserts, adding a fresh fruit flavor without any seed texture.
The texture is smooth and pours readily, making it ideal for drizzling or swirling atop cakes, tarts, pancakes, or custards. The balance between the natural raspberry tartness and added sugar creates a bright, fruity flavor that complements a variety of sweets.
This coulis can be prepared in advance and refrigerated for up to a week, allowing for easy use when needed. Adjusting sugar levels after straining ensures the perfect sweetness for different dishes or personal preference. It works well as a simple yet flavorful finishing touch to elevate the presentation and taste of many desserts.

- 12 ounces raspberry about 3 cups. see note 1
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar plus more to taste (see note 2)
