This easy raspberry sauce recipe dresses up any dessert! It's the perfect raspberry syrup for cheesecake, ice cream, or mousse. Quick and easy to make with just three simple ingredients and can be made ahead of time.
Combine raspberries, sugar, and water in a saucepan over medium heat.
Cook and stir until raspberries break down, sugar dissolves, and sauce is heated through, 3-7 minutes.
Remove from heat and press sauce through a fine-mesh strainer to remove seeds.
Cool to room temperature.
Notes
Make the raspberry sauce in a heavy bottomed saucepan over a medium heat. The sauce shouldn't boil, it should just be heated through so that the sugar dissolves.
If you are making this sauce out of season, you can use frozen raspberries, there's no need to defrost them first.
