Raspberry Coulis
on Nov 08, 2024
This Raspberry Coulis adds a vibrant, sweet-tart burst to any dessert. It’s a beautiful complement to chocolate treats, nice creams, and even fresh fruit. One of my favorite ways to use it is drizzled over the Almost Instant Apple Pie Rice Pudding.
Why I Love This Recipe
Hey there, dessert lovers! It’s Chef AJ, your Queen of Quick and Easy Plant-Based Recipes! There’s nothing like a rich, fruity sauce to take a dish from good to oh là là! This Raspberry Coulis is one of my favorite sauces to have on hand. COULIS simply means “thick sauce” in French, and it sounds as elegant as it tastes. It’s naturally sweet, incredibly versatile, and gives any dessert a touch of elegance. Best of all, you don’t need added sugars – the Date Paste adds just the right level of natural sweetness. You’ll want to drizzle it over everything!
Key Ingredients
- Raspberries: These add a fresh, slightly tart flavor that’s perfect for a dessert sauce. Plus, raspberries are rich in antioxidants and vitamin C.
- Date Paste: Naturally sweetens the coulis without refined sugar, making it a wholesome option that enhances the raspberry flavor.
The Process
Purée the thawed raspberries and Date Paste in a high-speed blender until smooth. Adjust the sweetness by adding more Date Paste to taste. Once blended to your desired consistency, pour the coulis into a squeeze bottle for easy serving and decorating.
Drizzle over desserts like the Orange Chocolate Mousse Torte or use as a fresh, fruity topping on a bowl of nice cream. Voilà – dessert is served!
Chef’s Tips
- Try using other fruits like cherries or strawberries for a different flavor twist.
- You can use fresh raspberries instead of frozen if they’re in season. Just adjust the Date Paste to taste.
How to Store
Keep any leftover coulis in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Give it a quick stir before serving.
Frequently Asked Questions
