Raspberry Coulis Recipe
Description
To create the raspberry coulis, fresh raspberries are combined in a pot with lemon juice, sugar, and a small amount of cold water. The mixture is cooked over medium heat until it reaches a thick, jammy consistency, typically about 15 to 20 minutes. After cooking, it is passed through a fine mesh strainer or chinois to remove seeds, resulting in a smooth sauce.
The coulis is then chilled and kept cold until ready to serve. It can be spooned over desserts like ice cream, cheesecake, panna cotta, or cakes to add a fresh fruity note. It also freezes well for longer storage and can be reheated and cooled again if needed. Additionally, this recipe offers a way to preserve fresh raspberries by turning them into a versatile sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 cup raspberries fresh
- lemon juice of ½ lemon
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons water cold
Instructions
- Add the raspberries, lemon juice, sugar, and water to a medium-sized pot.
- Cook over medium heat until it becomes thick and jammy. This will take about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Strain the coulis through a fine mesh strainer or a chinois.
- Chill the sauce until it’s cold. Serve or store.
Notes
- This coulis can be prepared up to three days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
- For longer storage, it freezes well for about three months and should be thawed in the refrigerator before use.
- After freezing and thawing, reheating and cooling again may be necessary to restore consistency.
- Using fresh raspberries is best, but freezing surplus raspberries into this sauce helps prevent waste.
