Strawberry coulis is a light and sweet sauce that has its roots in French cuisine, where it is traditionally used to accompany desserts and savory dishes. The word "coulis" comes from French and refers to a fine, strained puree of fruits or vegetables. In Latin America, this preparation is simply known as "strawberry sauce" or "liquid jam," depending on the country. Its versatility and fresh flavor have made it a favorite for enhancing everything from ice creams to cakes and crepes.
In countries like Mexico, Argentina, and Colombia, strawberry coulis has been adapted with local ingredients and is used to give a special touch to traditional desserts. Although the basic recipe is quite simple, the use of lemon juice and a liqueur, such as raspberry liqueur, provides a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity, enhancing the natural flavor of the strawberries. This sauce is easy to prepare and offers a sophisticated finish to any culinary creation.
