    Serving Suggestions for Blueberry Coulis 

    Desserts: Drizzle the coulis over desserts like cheesecake, panna cotta, ice cream, or yogurt for a burst of fruity sweetness. You can also layer it in parfaits or use it as a filling for pastries and cakes.

    Breakfast or brunch: Pour the blueberry coulis over pancakes, waffles, or French toast to add a delicious fruity element to your morning meal. It can also be swirled into oatmeal or yogurt bowls.

    Cocktails and beverages: Add a splash of blueberry coulis to cocktails like martinis, mojitos, or sangrias for a flavorful twist. It can also be used as a syrup alternative in mocktails or mixed with sparkling water for a refreshing beverage.

    Baked goods: Use blueberry coulis as a filling for pastries, tarts, or turnovers. It can also be swirled into a muffin or cake batter to create a marbled effect.

    Tips for Making the Best Blueberry Coulis Ever

    Choose ripe and fresh blueberries: Opt for plump, juicy blueberries that are at the peak of ripeness. This ensures a more flavorful and vibrant coulis.

    Adjust sweetness to taste: The amount of sugar mentioned in the recipe is a general guideline. Feel free to adjust the amount according to your preference and the sweetness of the blueberries.

    Strain for a smooth texture: Straining the coulis after blending helps remove any seeds or skin, resulting in a smoother and more refined texture. Use a fine-mesh sieve or a cheesecloth to strain the mixture and discard any solids.

    Recipe Variation Ideas for Blueberry Coulis

    • Mixed berry coulis: Expand the flavor profile by incorporating other berries into the coulis. Consider combining blueberries with raspberries, strawberries, or blackberries to create a mixed berry coulis that showcases a medley of flavors.
    • Spiced blueberry coulis: Add warmth and depth by incorporating warm spices into the coulis. Consider simmering the blueberry mixture with a touch of ginger, nutmeg, or allspice with a touch of vanilla extract to infuse it with a delightful spiced flavor.
    • Citrus zest coulis: Enhance the citrusy notes by adding a touch of lemon zest or lime zest to the blueberry coulis. The zest adds a burst of fresh, aromatic flavors that complement the sweetness of the blueberries.

    How to Store Leftover Blueberry Coulis

    Store leftover blueberry coulis in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Allow it to thaw overnight before using it for your favorite recipes!

        That sounds like a great combination! Add a little bit of whipped heavy cream and that completes the meat! 😉

      Angela, I have made a similar sauce to mix into a blueberry no churn ice cream. If you put blops of the sauce after it is mostly cooled on the ice cream mixture, then just cut through them with a table knife, it gives a nice swirled effect. Cutting through more than once, or using side of knife rather than edge gives a more mixed in effect, but still has some white and some blue berry lines. Go for it- I am sure you will find it tastes awesome- mine is very popular everywhere it goes.since a friend told me how she made it.

      I am thinking of making this to swirl into my vanilla ice cream base. I don't want it to blend fully though. If I fold it in after the ice cream is churned, will that achieve the result I am looking for?

        If you do minimal mixing after the ice cream is churned then it should not blend. But I have not tried it so please do come back and let me know the results.
