    This easy to make, delicious chocolate raspberry sauce is the perfect accompaniment for pancakes, ice cream, yogurt and desserts.  It is gluten free and flexible enough to suit dairy free/vegan diets.  You can use either dairy or any non-dairy milk and the butter can be swapped for coconut oil or non-dairy spread.

    I use raspberries a lot in my recipes and usually don't remove the seeds but I made an exception with this chocolate raspberry sauce.  I wanted this sauce to be as smooth as possible.

    Equipment you'll need

    • Kitchen scale/measuring cup and spoons
    • Medium pan
    • Fine mesh sieve and spoon

    How to make chocolate raspberry sauce: step-by-step

    This recipe is incredibly easy to make!

    1.Start by preparing the raspberries.  Fry them over a fairly high heat for 2-3 minutes squashing with the back of a spoon.

    Top tips for making raspberry chocolate sauce

    • Raspberries: Use either fresh or frozen.
    • Texture: Use a whisk to stir the sauce as it's cooking to prevent lumps forming. Use either cocoa or cacao though bear in mind cacao is a tiny bit grainier (check out this collection of 27 everyday healthy cacao recipes).
    • Serving: Enjoy hot or cold. The sauce is likely to thicken after a while so just add a bit of milk to get the consistency you want.
    • Storing: You can refrigerate leftover sauce, covered, for up to 3 days.

    Serving suggestions

    This easy chocolate sauce with raspberries is an ideal accompaniment to pancakes!  It is perfect to use with either American style thick pancakes or crepes.

    If you make this chocolate sauce quite thick it's delicious as a dip served with banana chunks or strawberries.  The sauce is also perfect for pouring over ice cream!

    Ingredients

    • ¾ cup (100 g) raspberries fresh or frozen
    • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
    • 3 tablespoons sugar
    • ½ cup+1tbsp (140 ml) milk of choice
    • 1½ teaspoon corn flour
    • 1 teaspoon butter or coconut oil

    • Place the raspberries in a pan and cook over high/medium heat for 2-3 minutes, mashing up with the back of a large spoon and stirring all the time. Transfer the mixture into a fine-mesh strainer, place over a bowl and press and stir for a few minutes to remove the seeds. Discard the seeds.

If the sauce gets too thick after a while just add a bit of milk.

    Notes

    • Raspberries: Use either fresh or frozen.
    • Texture: Use a whisk to stir the sauce as it's cooking to prevent lumps forming. Use either cocoa or cacao though bear in mind cacao is a tiny bit grainier (check out this collection of 27 everyday healthy cacao recipes).

        Hi, can I omit the corn flour? Will it mess up the sauce if I don't add corn flour?

          I don't think it will mess it up but the sauce might be too runny. I haven't tried it without the flour.
