Berry Coulis Dessert Topping Recipe
Berry Coulis Dessert Topping
This simple berry coulis dessert topping makes everything from ice cream to chocolate pie just that much better!
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen berries, rinsed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar or coconut palm sugar
- 1 Tbs. lemon juice
Instructions
- Clean fresh fruit, then add to a medium-sized saucepan together with sugar and lemon juice. Bring to a low boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
- It's all about the sugar dissolving, so if it's not dissolved yet, reduce heat to a simmer and keep stirring until no longer crunchy -- in other words, until there are no sugar crystals left.
- If you prefer your berry coulis chunky, the consistency may be perfect for you at this point; otherwise, press gently through a sieve or transfer to a blender.
- If blending, purée until smooth, strain seeds (if desired), then set aside to fully cool before storing.
- Coulis stores well in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 1 week.

Jules, I love your gf flour and use it regularly. Thank you!!!!!!
A quick question about your Berry Coulis recipe – do I bring it just to a boil and remove it from the heat? Or do I boil it for a bit? Thanks. I await your response
Hi Jackie – thanks so much for your sweet note. I’m so glad to hear you’re loving my gfJules Flour and putting it to good use!
Regarding this berry coulis recipe, it’s really all about getting the sugar crystals dissolved, so if after the quick boil the sugar isn’t totally dissolved, reduce to a simmer and keep stirring until you don’t hear any more “crunching” from the sugar. I’ve added more details in the recipe to make this more clear. Thanks for your question!!!
Enjoy the recipe!
