Ingredients You Need

This recipe requires only 3 ingredients!

1. Raspberries: Frozen or fresh raspberries work.
2. Sugar: To sweeten the sauce. It also helps thicken the sauce.
3. Cornstarch: This helps to thicken the sauce.

Steps to Make Raspberry Sauce

1. Add the cornstarch, sugar and water to a small saucepan.
2. Add the thawed raspberries and heat over medium heat.
3. Stir the mixture constantly until it boils.
4. Once boiling, cook and stir for one additional minute.
5. Strain the sauce through a fine mesh strainer place over a bowl.

Expert Tips

• Thicken the sauce: Use cornstarch to thicken the sauce. The sugar also helps thicken and sweeten the sauce. If you want a thicker sauce, you can add additional cornstarch.
• Straining the Seeds: You can leave the seeds if you don’t mind the seeds in the sauce. Otherwise, for a smooth sauce, use a fine mesh sieve to strain the seeds.

Storage: Homemade raspberry sauce lasts in the fridge for up to to one week. We don’t recommend freezing the sauce as it’s made with cornstarch and will turn spongy when frozen.

This sauce is also known as raspberry coulis. Serve it warm or cold. It is the perfection addition to yogurt, oatmeal, cake, cheesecake and more. Drizzle it over your favorite dessert recipes for additional color and flavor.
