Raspberry Sauce

This easy Homemade Raspberry Sauce is sweet, vibrant, and ready in minutes. Perfect for drizzling over yogurt, pancakes, waffles, or ice cream!

Homemade Raspberry Sauce is the perfect way to elevate everything from yogurt and pancakes to waffles and ice cream. It’s bright, naturally sweet, and comes together in just minutes — making it one of those simple recipes you’ll want to keep in your fridge at all times.

With two young kids at home, I’ve learned that presentation (and a little natural sweetness) can make all the difference. One child happily eats plain Greek yogurt without hesitation… the other refuses it unless there’s something fun swirled in. This Raspberry Sauce does the trick every single time.

I always keep frozen berries on hand — they’re convenient, nutritious, and perfect for quick recipes like this. And while they’re delicious on their own, turning them into this vibrant sauce makes them feel extra special.

Why I Love This Recipe

  • Quick & Easy:
    It takes just minutes to make and requires minimal effort.
  • Naturally Nutritious:
    Raspberries are packed with vitamin C, magnesium, and fiber — and they’re surprisingly low in calories.
  • Kid-Approved:
    The bright red color alone is enough to get little ones excited. One taste, and they’re hooked.
  • Versatile:
    Drizzle it over yogurt, swirl into oatmeal, spoon onto pancakes, top ice cream, or spread it onto toast with almond butter or cream cheese.

A Family Favorite

The first time I poured this gorgeous ruby-red sauce into a glass jar, the kids gathered around the kitchen, completely mesmerized. The color is stunning, and the flavor is even better — sweet, slightly tart, and bursting with fresh berry goodness.

Even the yogurt purists in our house now reach for a generous spoonful. Sometimes there’s more raspberry sauce than yogurt in the bowl — and honestly, I can’t blame them.

Whether you’re dressing up breakfast, upgrading dessert, or just trying to make plain yogurt more exciting, this Raspberry Sauce is a simple little recipe that makes a big impression.

  •  2 tablespoons honey or agave

  •  1/4 cup water

  2. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth.

  4. Stir the cornstarch mixture into the raspberries and cook for about 2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.

  5. Remove from heat, allow to cool slightly, and serve over yogurt, ice cream, pancakes, waffles, and more.
