Raspberry Sauce image

A sweet but slightly tart sauce that's perfect for cheesecake or ice cream. I developed this to add a fruity note to cheesecake that also counterbalances the rich, sweet cake.

Time 15m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

12 ounces frozen unsweetened raspberries
1/2 cup sugar, to taste
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Thaw the raspberries in a strainer placed over a bowl. About 1 cup of raspberry juice should drain out.
  • In a small bowl make a slurry with the water and cornstarch.
  • In a small saucepan gradually sweeten the juice to taste. Remember that the raspberries, when added back in, will make the sauce tarter.
  • Bring the raspberry juice to a simmer and whisk in about half of the cornstarch slurry. Keep whisking until the mixture returns to a simmer. Whisk in more slurry if needed to achieve the desired thickness.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat, pour the thickened juice into a bowl and gently stir in the raspberries.
  • Let cool to room temperature. Refrigerate covered until cold.
  • If the sauce is too thick, stir in 1 teaspoon of water at a time until thin enough.
  • If the sauce is too thin, strain off some of the liquid into a saucepan and gradually thicken with a cornstarch slurry as above.
