Fruit Coulis

Fruit coulis is a must-have, ready-to-go sauce, especially during the vibrant summer season. This recipe is the easiest and most versatile base you'll ever make, suitable for nearly every fruit puree imaginable—from tangy red fruits like raspberries to luscious stone fruits like peaches and apricots. The secret? You need only two ingredients: your favorite fruit puree and a neutral glaze. That's it. No straining, no endless simmering, and no complicated ratios. Once combined, this glossy, silky coulis holds its shine and texture beautifully. Store them in squeeze bottles for effortless plating—perfect for drizzling artistic swoops on plated desserts, layering into creamy sundaes, or adding a jewel-like finish to cupcakes and tarts. Keep a batch in your fridge all summer long, and you'll always have a burst of fresh fruit flavor just a squeeze away.
