That Sunday Morning Bake Show - Roasted Strawberry Puree Recipe

Roasted Strawberry Purée

Slow-roasted strawberries blended into a rich, syrupy purée — perfect for mixing into ice cream, layering in sundaes, or swirling through custard bases.
These strawberries have evolved. Roasting them brings out their natural sugars, concentrates their flavor, and gives them that dark, jammy edge you just can’t get from fresh. This roasted strawberry purée is the key to ice creams with real berry power, but it’s also a secret weapon for sauces, parfaits, and swirls. Use it smooth or slightly chunky — your scoop, your rules.

Ingredients

  • 350 g fresh strawberries or frozen
  • 30 g granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 pinch of fine sea salt

    350 g fresh strawberries, 30 g granulated sugar, 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice, 1 pinch of fine sea salt
  • Roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring once, until the berries are soft, bubbling, and just starting to caramelize.
  • Let roasted strawberries cool slightly.
  • Blend to your preferred texture: Leave a little chunky for texture, or blend until smooth and strain out seeds for a silkier swirl.
  • You should yield about 275–300 g of purée.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for later use.

Notes

  • For swirling into ice cream, blend smooth and strain for the best texture.
  • Want it thicker? Return it to the pan and reduce gently over low heat.
  • Works beautifully as a toast spread, cheesecake topping, or stirred into yogurt.
