A quick and easy 3-ingredient blackcurrant coulis that’s perfect for using up a glut of fruit. Delicious with yogurt, ice cream, or cheesecake – and freezer-friendly too!
In a large pan, place the blackcurrants, sugar and water, bring to the boil, then simmer for 5 minutes.
250 g Blackcurrants, 50 g Caster Sugar, 100 ml Water
Take off the heat (add the vanilla extract if using), then spoon the cooked blackcurrants into a sieve, over a large bowl. Push the blackcurrants through the sieve with the back of a spoon.
½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Pour the coulis into a bowl or jug, and store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
Variation: Try using other soft fruits like raspberries or blackberries, or a mixture of berries.Thicken it: If you would like the coulis to be a little thicker, mix 2 teaspoon of cornflour (cornstarch) with enough water to make a thick paste. Return the smooth coulis to a pan, then whisk through the cornflour paste on a high heat, and wait for it to thicken up.Nutrition: The nutritional information provided is approximate and is calculated using online tools.
