- Raspberries and blueberries - you can use either fresh or frozen berries for this recipe. I like the flavour that the two types of berries gives the sauce but 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 for the best taste. You could also swap this for another dairy-free milk such as cashew milk or almond milk.
How to make berry sauce:
Step 1
Step one: Place all the ingredients into a medium sized pot or saucepan and place it on the stovetop.
Step 2
Turn the burner on to low heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
Step 3
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 regularly to help break up the berries.
Step 4
Let the sauce cool for a few minutes, then serve and enjoy!
Top tips:
- 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 sauce.
- Use full fat coconut milk for best results. Low fat coconut milk is more watery so it will make the sauce more thin.
- If you want the sauce to be really smooth without any clumps you can use your immersion blender to blend it or transfer it to a blender and blend it once it has finished cooking.
Serving ideas:
You can use this dessert sauce in so many ways including for topping ice cream, cheesecake, crepes, pancakes (like my gluten free pancakes with blueberries) or grain free waffles. It's also delicious eaten right off the spoon or to add to yogurt and smoothies. I also love using this double berry sauce to top meat dishes (I know this sounds bizarre, but just trust me it's delicious).
Berry sauce FAQs:
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.
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.
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.
No, berry compote is thicker than berry sauce and is usually made with sugar.
Store this sauce in the fridge in an airtight container or jar for up to 7 days.
