Strawberry Sauce From Frozen Strawberries
My super easy strawberry sauce from frozen strawberries is just what you need to elevate all your desserts and breakfast favorites. It's the best strawberry coulis recipe made with just 3 ingredients and ready in less than 15 minutes!
Servings: 8 ¼ cup servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb frozen strawberries
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2 tablespoon water
- 1 to 1 ½ teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Combine the frozen strawberries, sugar, and water in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries are fully thawed and soft, and the sugar has completely dissolved.
- Transfer the strawberry mixture to a food processor or blender and puree until completely smooth. You can skip this step if you want a chunky sauce.
- Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve back into the saucepan to remove any seeds.
- If the sauce is thinner than you'd like, simmer over medium-low heat for a few minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens. It's typically good once it coats the back of a spoon.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice, taste, and add more if needed. The lemon juice should brighten the strawberry flavor without overwhelming it.
- Allow the sauce to cool before serving. It will thicken up a bit.
- Drizzle over cakes, spoon onto ice cream, swirl into yogurt, or use as a topping for pancakes and waffles.
Notes
- To store, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months and thaw before use.
- Adjust the lemon juice to suit your taste—start with less and add more as needed.
- Be patient when thickening the sauce. It should reach a consistency that isn’t runny but still pours easily.
- You can puree the sauce or or leave it chunky.
- This recipe will work with any type of frozen berries.
