Description

This vibrant and simple Strawberry Coulis recipe delivers a luscious, sweet-tart sauce made from fresh or frozen strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Perfect as a topping for desserts like panna cotta, cheesecake, ice cream, or pancakes, this coulis is quickly simmered, pureed, and strained for a smooth, velvety texture. With only a few ingredients and a short cooking time, it’s an easy way to add fresh strawberry flavor to your dishes.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 pound (500 grams) strawberries (fresh or frozen)
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 long strip lemon rind (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare strawberries: Hull the strawberries by cutting off the green leaves, then cut each strawberry into 4 to 8 pieces depending on their size to ensure even cooking.
  2. Combine ingredients: Place the strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and optional lemon rind in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  3. Heat to simmer: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring regularly to fully dissolve the sugar into the liquid.
  4. Simmer until softened: Let the strawberries simmer for about 10 minutes until they become soft and release their juices, creating a liquidy mixture.
  5. Remove lemon rind and blend: Take out the lemon rind strip. Use an immersion blender to puree the strawberry mixture into a smooth sauce.
  6. Adjust consistency: If the coulis is too thick, stir in a spoonful or two of water until you reach your desired thickness.
  7. Strain for smoothness: For an extra smooth texture, pass the coulis through a fine sieve, or use it as is if you prefer a more textured sauce.
  8. Store appropriately: Refrigerate the coulis and use it within 4 days, or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

  • Using frozen strawberries works well and may reduce the need to hull if they are pre-prepared.
  • Adjust the sugar amount based on the sweetness of your strawberries and personal preference.
  • The lemon rind adds a subtle citrus aroma but can be omitted if you prefer.
  • Straining is optional depending on your texture preference.
  • Coulis freezes well; thaw and stir before use.
  • Perfect for drizzling over desserts, breakfast items, or even mixing into yogurt.
