Strawberry Sauce (Coulis)

Sharing is caring!

Strawberry Sauce (coulis) is very easy to make and delicious. This sauce is perfect as topping on ice creams, crepes, pancakes, waffles etc.  

If you pass it through a strainer, you can use it to make velvety creams such as yiaourtoglyko, ice cream, pannacotta or other creams as fillings for cakes etc.  

Leftover liquid can also be used to make strawberry flavoured puddings without adding any additional sugar.

The cooking time is about 10 – 15 minutes, from boiling point, on medium heat mixing now and then. 

The amount of sugar is up to you if you want this sauce to be very sweet, increase the amount of sugar.   If they are cooked more time they will become like jam.

Note:

You can make the sauce vegan by omitting the butter.  

You can also omit the brandy if you are making it for your children.  Just add the strawberries, sugar, a few tablespoons water, just enough to wet the sugar and cook them for 10 – 15 minutes.  Add a tablespoon of lemon juice at the end.

If you make a bigger quantity, you can put them in plastic bowls and freeze them.

*If the strawberries are still wet after washing them do not add the water mentioned in the recipe as it will take more time for the sauce to be ready.  The brandy is optional and you can use any other liqueur you like to flavour the sauce.
