This simple 3-ingredient mango coulis is a luscious, smooth sauce made from fresh or frozen mango flesh, lime juice, and caster sugar. Perfect for drizzling over desserts, pancakes, or yogurt, it combines the tropical sweetness of mango with a zesty hint of lime for a refreshing flavor. The coulis is cooked gently to soften the fruit, then blended for a thick, velvety texture, with an optional straining step for the smoothest finish.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 400 gr Mango Flesh (fresh or frozen)
  • 30 ml Lime Juice
  • 50 gr Caster Sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mango: Peel and slice the mango into small cubes. If using frozen mango, allow it to thaw slightly before slicing. Place the cubes into a small saucepan.
  2. Add Sugar and Lime Juice: Pour the caster sugar and lime juice over the mango cubes in the saucepan. Stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
  3. Cook the Fruit: Heat the mixture on low to medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes until the mango softens significantly and begins to break down. Stir occasionally to prevent the mixture from sticking or burning. Once soft, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
  4. Blend the Couli: Using an immersion blender, blend the cooked mango mixture until it becomes very smooth and thick. This process may take a few minutes to achieve the desired consistency.
  5. Adjust Flavor: Taste the coulis and add a little more caster sugar or lime juice if you prefer it sweeter or more acidic. Stir well after adjustments.
  6. Optional Straining: For an ultra-smooth and thinner coulis, strain the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any remaining fibers or unblended fruit pieces.
  7. Cool and Store: Allow the coulis to cool completely. Transfer it to a sealed jar or container and store it in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

  • When using frozen mango, thaw it slightly before peeling and slicing for easier handling.
  • Cooking time varies depending on mango ripeness; cook until fruit is very soft and beginning to break apart.
  • Taste adjustments are optional but recommended to balance sweetness and acidity to your preference.
  • Straining is optional but recommended for a smooth texture, especially if serving the coulis as a delicate topping or sauce.
