- 12 ounces raspberries (about 3 cups. see note 1)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar plus more to taste (see note 2)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
In a food processor or blender, add raspberries and powdered sugar. Pulse until raspberries are puréed.
Set a fine-mesh sieve over a small bowl and pour purée through, pressing on the mixture to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the pulp.
Stir in the lemon juice and add more powdered sugar to taste, if desired.
- Raspberries: This Raspberry Coulis begins with 3 cups of fruit, or about 1 ½ pints of fresh raspberries. See “Recipe FAQ” below for the scoop about frozen berries.
- Powdered sugar: Since you can always add but can’t take away, start with ¼ cup. Blend, strain, mix with lemon juice and add more powdered sugar to taste.
- Yield: This recipe makes 1 cup of Raspberry Coulis, or enough 2-tablespoon servings to jazz up about eight servings of dessert.
- Make ahead: Transfer cooled Raspberry Coulis to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week.
