The raspberry coulis is a very quick-to-make fruit-based sauce used to garnish spoon desserts such as panna cotta, bavarois, cheesecake, single portions or plated desserts.
The term coulis is of French origin and represents a type of fruit or vegetable sauce that is extremely easy to prepare. Today I propose the raspberry version: to make it, you just need to cook the fruit with sugar and lemon for a few minutes, pass it through a sieve to remove the seeds and get a smooth and silky sauce.
The raspberry version is perhaps the best known and most appreciated thanks to its bright color and slightly tart flavor, perfect for enriching desserts; other great variants can be made with strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, or peaches, each of which will give a personal touch of color, taste, and liveliness to your dessert.
