    This raspberry blueberry sauce recipe is the best berry sauce you will ever try. So easy to make, with no added sugar, this double berry sauce is great for topping ice cream, cheesecake and even meat dishes. It's also vegan, paleo and Whole30 compliant!

    A jar of raspberry blueberry sauce with a spoon in it.

    Why you will love this recipe:

    • This mixed berry sauce has the most incredible flavour! Raspberries and blueberries combine so well together to give this sauce a perfect sweet taste.
    • This homemade raspberry sauce is so easy to make and only requires 5 ingredients!
    • This berry sauce recipe only uses one pot to make so your clean up will be so quick and easy.
    • This sauce has no added sugar and is made with no cornstarch. It is sweetened only with the fruit and coconut milk making it a healthy treat or snack.
    • This sauce can be used in so many ways! Eat it plain, use it to top ice cream, cheesecake or even meat dishes. 
    • It's a perfect meal prep option to keep in your fridge to add flavour to your meals all week.
    • This sauce is Whole30, paleo, vegan, and dairy free. 

    Key ingredients and substitutions:

    • Raspberries and blueberries - you can use either fresh or frozen berries for this recipe. If you prefer a blueberry sauce you could cut out the raspberries and double the blueberries, and if you prefer a raspberry sauce, cut out the blueberries and double the raspberries. 
    • Coconut milk - this helps provide a little natural sweetness to the sauce and helps thicken it. I recommend using full fat coconut milk. You could also swap this for another dairy free milk such as cashew milk or almond milk. 
    • Sea salt - just a bit is all you need to balance out the natural sweetness of the blueberries and raspberries. 

    How to make this recipe:

    Step one:

    First, place all the ingredients in a medium sized pot and place it on the stove.

    Step two:

    Next turn the burner on to low heat and bring the mixture to a boil.

    Step three:

    Now turn down the heat and let the sauce simmer for about 20 minutes, until it has the thickness you prefer. Be sure to stir the sauce to help break up the berries. 

    Step four:

    Let the sauce cool a little, then serve and enjoy!

    How to use this sauce: 

    • You can use this sauce for topping ice cream. 
    • Use it to top cheesecake.
    • You can use this sauce for pancakes or waffles.
    • You can eat it right off the spoon!
    • You can use this raspberry blueberry sauce for topping meat dishes (I know this sounds crazy but just trust me on this one).

    Tips and variations:

    • You can make this sauce as thick or thin as you like by adding more or less coconut milk.
    • You can use either fresh or frozen blueberries and raspberries to make this berry sauce.
    • You can swap the coconut milk for another dairy free milk. 

    How to store:

    Store this sauce in the fridge in an airtight container or jar for up to 7 days.

    Frequently asked questions: 

    How do you thicken fruit sauce without cornstarch? 

    You can thicken fruit sauce by allowing it to boil longer. The longer you let it boil, the more water will evaporate off the berries and the thicker the sauce gets. This berry sauce recipe also uses coconut milk to help thicken it. 

    Is this berry sauce keto?

    This berry sauce has 10 grams of carbs per serving including 4 grams of fiber, so 6 grams of net carbs. If you are careful with your carb counts and keep your other foods low in carbs, this sauce could fit in with a keto diet if you have a small amount. 

    Can I use frozen berries to make this sauce?

    Absolutely! You will just need to add a bit more cooking time as the berries will take a little time to thaw and breakdown if they are frozen instead of fresh.
