Desserts are the sweetest element of the culinary world. There is almost no person who does not adore the flavors, that sweets offer. Over time, more and more distinctive and non-standard dessert recipes have emerged, giving food connoisseurs the opportunity to rediscover even more memorable flavors.
In this regard, strawberry coulis has gained popularity in recent years. But what is it and how is it prepared?
Strawberry coulis is a cream made from strawberries. It has several culinary uses, but it is mainly used as a glaze for various desserts.
Its other use is as a base for desserts or as a thickening cream for macaroons.
To do this, first you have to finely cut the strawberries.
Then add some of them into a saucepan along with the sugar and heat them over moderate heat. You can also add some water. The goal is to thicken the strawberry coulis by reducing it on the stove.
For faster thickening, you can add gelatin. If you are using gelatin powder, you must cover it with water and heat it before adding it to the strawberry puree.
If you use a gelatin sheet, you must first add it to water and squeeze out the excess water and then heat the puree.
Finally, coarsely puree it and strain it using a strainer. Then add a few more fresh strawberries to the finished mixture and cover it with foil. It is important to cool the strawberry coulis before using it.
You can use the finished strawberry coulis as a topping for your panna cotta, homemade ice cream or chocolate souffle.
