Why You'll Love This Recipe
If you're looking for a versatile, easy, and delicious Raspberry Dipping Sauce, this recipe is for you! It's very straightforward to make, sweet, and fruity. All you'll need is four ingredients and a few kitchen equipment staples.
Ingredients
Fresh Raspberries: I highly recommend using fresh Raspberries. You could also use frozen, but I don't think they have nearly as much flavor.
Granulated Sugar: Just some regular white granulated sugar is all you'll need for this Raspberry sauce.
Water: Use tap water to help the fruit boil and break down into a puree.
Cornstarch: This recipe uses cornstarch as a thickening agent and works perfectly.
See the recipe card below for full information on ingredients and quantities.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Add water and raspberries to your cooking blender and set it to Purée on its lowest/shortest mode.
Step 2: Once the blender has run through the puree cycle, slowly pour the raspberry puree into a fine mesh strainer over a mixing bowl. Do this in cycles and press the liquid through the back of a large spoon or spatula. Be sure also to scrape the bottom of the strainer into the bowl. This is where the best parts of the Puree linger.
Step 3: After separating all the seeds, pour the puree back into the blender.
This is where you'll start to thicken the Raspberry Dipping Sauce.
Lastly, add the granulated sugar and cornstarch to the blender, set it to Puree once more, press start, and let it run.
Step 4: Once the blender is done, pour the sauce into a bowl and serve it hot!
Expert Tips
- When straining the raspberry purée, scrape the bottom of the strainer. This is where a lot of the flavor is going to come from.
- This Raspberry Coulis Dipping Sauce also works perfectly served cold over ice cream, hot brownies, or even in Homemade Cheesecake.
- Refrigerated, this raspberry dipping sauce becomes more of a jell-like consistency. Which is great on toast, but if you want it to get to a sauce, simply place it in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
Recipe FAQs
Raspberry sauce is made of fresh raspberries, water, sugar, and cornstarch.
A coulis is puréed fruits or vegetables that are then strained of any pulp or seeds. Fruit coulis is typically served with desserts, while vegetable coulis is used as a base for soups or served as a topping for meat and vegetable dishes.
A fruit sauce would be considered more of a purée because you would skip the straining process to get down to just the liquids.
When making a coulis, you start by puréeing the fruit or vegetables and any remaining ingredients you're using. The purée will be thicker because it contains the pulp and seeds. Once you have strained the liquid through and discarded the pulp, you have a coulis.
