We are farmers and a simple greeting will warm our hearts.

Homemade sauces and creams add that touch of indulgence that transforms a simple dessert into a refined creation. Whether it’s a fruity coulis, a melting caramel, a smooth cream, or a toffee sauce with a buttery caramel flavor, these preparations are easy to make and keep for several days in the refrigerator. They are the perfect accompaniment to cakes, crepes, ice cream, or verrines. These four recipes—red berry coulis, salted caramel sauce, pistachio cream, and toffee sauce—are essential bases for enriching your homemade pastries.

Red Berry Coulis
A tangy and colorful coulis, perfect for topping cheesecakes, panna cotta, or ice cream.

100g sugar
Juice of half a lemon
2 tbsp water
1 tsp cornstarch
Preparation

In a saucepan, combine the berries, sugar, and lemon juice.
Cook over low heat for 10 minutes until the berries soften.
Dissolve the cornstarch in the water and add it to the mixture.

Tip

For a sweeter coulis, add a spoonful of honey or agave syrup.
