Equipment
- Strainer
- Small saucepan
- Medium bowl
Ingredients
- 12 ounces frozen unsweetened raspberries thawed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons raspberry liqueur
Instructions
- Thaw Out Raspberries - Thaw out the raspberries and strain the juice. Add water to the juice in order to get 3/4 cup of liquid.
- Cook the Raspberries - In a small saucepan, add the raspberry juice/water mixture, lemon juice, sugar, and cornstarch. Cook the mixture over medium heat, whisking consistently. Once the mixture thickens and begins to bubble, remove it from the heat.
- Strain the Mixture - Using a fine-mesh strainer, press the raspberries in and use a spoon to push the seedless pulp through into a bowl. Strain enough to get 1/3-1/2 cup of raspberry pulp. Disregard the raspberry seeds.
- Add the Liqueur - Add the strained raspberry pulp and raspberry liqueur to the saucepan. Stir the mixture well and refrigerate it for a few hours or overnight before using it.
Notes
Store this raspberry cake filling in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. You can also freeze the filling for up to three months. Allow it to thaw overnight in the fridge.
This filling tastes great in many different desserts. Try it with vanilla cake, chocolate cake, or marble cake. It even pairs well with cheesecake, brownies, pastries, or whatever you'd like.
This filling is especially great to use with wedding cakes. The raspberry helps cut back on the sweetness of the cake. It will complement any cake well.
You can use any brand of raspberry liqueur, but this recipe recommends using Razzmatazz by DeKuyper. It will provide a delicious raspberry flavor.
If desired, you may leave out the raspberry liqueur. The liqueur will enhance the raspberry flavor while giving it a bit of a kick. However, the filling will still taste delicious without using it.
If you don't mind the seeds, you can keep them in the filling. Removing them simply gives the filling a smoother consistency. In addition, you won't have to worry about any seeds getting caught in your teeth.
If desired, you can even mix the raspberry cake filling with buttercream to make an amazing raspberry frosting. This will take your frosting to the next level, making it smooth and creamy while also being full of flavor.
