This raspberry sauce is thick, glossy and packed with raspberry flavor. Serve it over a bowl of ice cream, layer it between pound cake cubes to make a trifle, or pour some over your morning oatmeal. It is one of my favorite berry desserts along with berry chantilly cake, blueberry shortcake and strawberry lemon cake.
Raspberry Sauce Ingredients
When you make this raspberry sauce you will need frozen raspberries, sugar, seedless raspberry jam, cornstarch and water. If you want to make your whole dessert from scratch, enjoy this sauce over some of my favorite desserts like Nutella cake, a heart cake and chocolate pudding cake.
How Do You Make Raspberry Sauce?
To make this raspberry sauce recipe, first place your frozen raspberries in a pan or saucepan and cook them until they thaw. After the raspberries cook, add the sugar and jam to the raspberries. Bring everything to a simmer. Finally, a little cornstarch mixed with water goes in at the end as a thickening agent. In just 15 minutes you can have raspberry sauce that you can use in countless ways!
Tips For The Perfect Raspberry Sauce
I use seedless jam in this recipe because the frozen berries contribute plenty of seeds to the sauce. If you don’t want any seeds, simply let the sauce cool a bit and strain the sauce through a sieve or fine mesh strainer to remove seeds and make the sauce more like a raspberry coulis. You can use fresh raspberries if you like. This recipe makes enough sauce to serve a crowd, but can easily be halved if you’re serving a smaller group. Typically I make a full batch to go with whatever dessert we’re having, then serve the leftovers over banana pancakes, buttermilk waffles, cheese blintzes or French toast casserole the next day.
