Tart, tangy and tongue tingling goodness in one recipe. I had a struggle getting it to become thick or even thickened so I upped the cornstarch mixture 2x and it made it thicker but still it is a very thin sauce. I've never made Coulis before so it quite possibly was perfect and I just don't know. Either way the taste is spectacular - not sweet at all but really tart with the use of fresh strawberries. I served it over Recipe #482990 with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and it was a huge hit with the family. My DS enjoyed it just over ice cream too (he always wants seconds of something :) ). Found and made during ZWT8.

Very good! Easy but I do wonder if it was a bit too thin which would have been my own fault. I am not too good at drizzling---will have to work on that I guess. LOL! I like the hint of lime in this. Made along with Recipe#341383 for a wonderful Fathers Day dessert. Thanks Dreamer for sharing. Made for PRMR.
