5 from 61 reviews

This Easy Mango Coulis recipe features just three simple ingredients—fresh or frozen mango, lime juice, and caster sugar—to create a vibrant, smooth sauce perfect for drizzling over desserts, yogurt, pancakes, or ice cream. The mango is gently cooked to soften, blended to a luscious consistency, and can be strained for extra smoothness. This versatile coulis combines natural sweetness with a slight citrus tang for a refreshing tropical flavor.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare Mango: Peel and slice the mango into small cubes. If using frozen mango, place the cubes straight into a small saucepan, adding 1-2 tablespoons of water if the pieces stick or start to burn to help with thawing.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Add the caster sugar and lime juice to the mango cubes in the saucepan. Stir gently to combine the ingredients evenly.
  3. Cook Mango Mixture: Heat the saucepan on low to medium heat for approximately 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Cooking time may vary depending on mango ripeness; very ripe fresh mango cubes may take only about 5 minutes. Cook until the fruit is very soft and begins to break down.
  4. Cool Slightly: Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mango mixture cool for about 5 minutes to slightly cool down before blending.
  5. Blend the Coulis: Using an immersion blender, blend the cooked mango mixture until very smooth. This may take a few minutes to achieve a thick, silky sauce.
  6. Adjust Flavor: Taste the coulis and adjust sweetness or acidity by adding a little more caster sugar or lime juice as needed for balanced flavor.
  7. Optional Strain: For an even smoother and thinner sauce, strain the coulis through a mesh sieve to remove fibers or any unblended fruit. If the coulis is too thick and difficult to strain, you can add a little water to thin it.
  8. Store: Let the mango coulis cool completely, then transfer it to a sealed jar or container. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

  • This recipe yields approximately 400 grams or 1 1/2 cups of mango coulis.
  • If using frozen mango, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water during cooking if the mango sticks or burns before thawing.
  • Cooking time varies depending on the ripeness and variety of mango; very ripe fresh mango cubes cook faster, around 5 minutes.
  • Taste the mango mixture before adjusting sugar and lime juice because mango flavor varies greatly by type and ripeness.
  • When straining, use a larger mesh sieve for best results or blend in a bit of water to thin the coulis if necessary.
