Raspberry Coulis Recipe

This raspberry coulis may be the easiest dessert you will ever make. When I found out just how quick and simple coulis was to make I couldn’t believe it and researched several recipes to be sure it was true. Lemon Tart is one of my favorite desserts and is even better with raspberry sauce. Plus then you can make pretty designs on your plates.

Raspberry Coulis Recipe

Coulis is basically the fancy French term for a strained juice or puree made from fruits or vegetables. Fruit Coulis are generally not cooked. This raspberry coulis recipe comes straight from the Joy of Cooking but is virtually the same everywhere I looked. Blueberry Coulis is totally coming next.

Man, that looks good. I get the sneaking suspicion that if I had a squeeze-bottle of this laying around the house, it would get used way too often. Keep us posted for the blueberry version, your recipes are the coulist.

I found recipes with the following which seems to be a good addition to 2 cups of raspberries

1 tablespoon Kirsch or 1 tablespoon framboise eau-de-vie

I also found recipes that cook 2 cups of fresh or frozen raspberries with about 1/2 cup of sugar. You can control the amount of sugar rather than using frozen raspberries in syrup.

I do not know how splenda might work as a substitute for the sugar. Has anyone tried it?

This is nutritional information I found for the 2 cups of raspberries with 1/2 cup of sugar.

Does anyone think that the carbohydrates is low when the recipe yealds 1 cup?

John – I haven’t tried using splenda but I am guessing it would be fine.
