If the coulis is too thick to be poured through a sieve, blend in a little bit of water and try again. Pour through a mesh sieve again to remove any fibres of chunks.Keep blending for a few more minutes - you really need to blend it well to remove any fibres from the fruits.There are two options if the coulis is not smooth enough: Place the blended coulis back on the stove and leave to reduce on low heat until you reach the desired consistency.

The sauce is too liquidĪ coulis that is too liquid usually means that the fruits are were not cooked for long enough - and the water naturally contained in the fruits has not evaporated.

If you are looking for a slightly more liquid sauce, add a little bit of water ( start with 1 or 2 tablespoon and add more if needed) and mix it in the coulis with the Immersion Blender. When cooked, Mangoes tend to naturally remain quite thick. The natural sweetness of Mango can highly vary depending on their variety and ripeness, so it is hard to give an exact quantity of added sugar and lime juice! After blending the coulis, taste it and adjust the level of sweetness / acidity to your liking.If using frozen mango, you might need to add a little bit of water to the pot to help thaw the fruits.Keep cooking until the fruits are very soft and start to fall apart. The cooking time will depend on the ripeness of the fruit, and if you use fresh or frozen mangoes.Don't leave the fruits on the stove unattended - the fruits will start to caramelise quickly and potentially burn if left unstirred for too long.With a very ripe fresh mango, it could only take 5 minutes or so! Make sure to keep an eye on it and cook it until the fruits are very soft. (*) The time it will take to cook the fruits will depend on how ripe it is and if you use fresh or frozen mango. Note that mango coulis is naturally thick so you need to use a larger mesh sieve to strain it - it will not go through a thin mesh sieve. Optional: for a very smooth and more liquid sauce, pour the blended coulis through a sieve to remove any fibres or fruit chunks.At this point, I recommend tasting the sauce and adjusting the sweetness and / or acidity with more sugar or lime juice if needed.You do not want to have any chunks of fruits left. Leave to cool down for about 5 minutes, then use an Immersion Blender to blend the compote together until very smooth.Note that if using frozen mango straight from the freezer, you might need to add a little bit of water to help it thaw at the start.

The fruits need to be very soft and fall apart.
