Ingredients

2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries

FAQs

Can I use frozen raspberries instead of fresh?

Yes, frozen raspberries work well for coulis and are often more affordable. Just thaw them before cooking or simmer them directly from frozen, adding a bit more cooking time if needed.

How can I prevent the coulis from being too seedy?

After blending, strain the coulis through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds for a smoother texture. This step is optional, depending on your preference.
