Berry Coulis Recipe – dessert sauce

This recipe is one of my all time favorites. I don’t love fruits but I do love berries. I’ve made it with strawberries, blackberries or raspberries and a mix of all three.  I think the strawberries alone are a little too… something, sweet maybe? It ends up tasting just like a fruit roll up, maybe that’s why I don’t love just the strawberry.

this berry coulis is simple to make and amazing on any dessert

My favorite is a mix of berries, at least 2, but all three is amazing as well. The zest is the secret to really making the flavor in this coulis pop! If you want just one berry I suggest the blackberry, it has a really great flavor. But I’m an Oregon girl so I love Blackberries, used to go pick them in the back yard!

berry coulis is the perfect topping on this rich flourless chocolate cake

The first time I made it was for this Flourless Chocolate cake and it was AMAZING!  My husband thinks the cake is a bit heavy (craziness) and wanted something lighter than more heavy cream  on top (I like it with ice cream or fresh whipped cream).

I didn’t think I would like it, and I don’t usually like fruits with chocolate. But it was AMAZING, seriously I love it. It creates the perfect balance or dark chocolate and sweet, but not too sweet, sauce!

berry coulis on a coconut panna cotta is simply divine

AND my very favorite recipe to have this sauce on is my coconut panna cotta.  SERIOUSLY, one of my all time favorites.  I’ll share that recipe with you next week!

And for you breakfast lovers I think most fruit syrups are too thick and sweet for me, but I love this Coulis on pancakes, waffles and more! What berries are your favorite that you’d make this out of?

    This sounds wonderful and not too sweet. My favorite berries are raspberries!

      I don’t love most fruits but there is just something about berries I love! Maybe because they are great dessert foods! Pretty much all my favorite flavors are good in desserts, chocolate, coconut, citrus, peanut butter, caramel… Yup, desserts!

    This was DELICIOUS and super easy to use. Perfect amount of tartness, not too sweet and went really well with my pavlova.

    Do you think this would freeze? I’m trying to make it for a friend’s wedding dessert.

      I’ve never tried but I don’t see why it wouldn’t freeze just fine

    This coulis was practically luscious. I had to alter it a little based off what I had on hand since I didn’t want to make a run to the store. I used only blackberries and used lime juice and zest instead of lemon. I also added a dash of coconut extract at the end just before blending. Served it drizzled over a key lime cheesecake I made and it was the hit of the party.

    Used this on a cheesecake. Swapped out the water for Valenzano Jersey Devil Port and used lemon zest instead of orange. Went with strawberries, raspberries and blackberries. It was a drunken cheesecake so I poured a smooth brandy over the cheesecake then topped the cake with the berry coulis and some fresh berries. It was amazing and completely gorgeous. Thank you.

    Do you have any tips for drizzling this coulis on decorated cupcakes? Would it hold up over night for a wedding? Would the cupcakes need to be refrigerated after drizzling it on?

      I’d recommend waiting to drizzle unil the say you serve them, you can prep the cupcakes ahead of time but the drizzle should go on just before serving
