Steps:
- Reserve 12 to 18 of the choicest whole berries and puree the rest in a blender with the sugar. Pour into a saucepan, add the corn syrup and simmer for 10 minutes, skimming off the froth. Remove from the heat, add the whole berries, stir gently and cool.
- Beat the cream cheese, cottage cheese and salt together adding the cream gradually until the mixture is smooth. (A food processor will do this quickly.)
- Line individual heart-shaped wicker, perforated porcelain or aluminum molds (or a single large such mold, or a colander) with a layer of wrung-out cheesecloth, allowing a 2-inch overlap. Fill with the cheese mixture and set on a plate in the refrigerator to drain overnight.
- Unmold onto plates or a platter, surround with strawberry sauce and decorate with whole berries and a few pink peppercorns.

Tips:
- To make the crème anglaise, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent scorching. Stir the mixture constantly with a wooden spoon to prevent it from curdling.
- When roasting the strawberries, use a variety of colors to create a visually appealing sauce. You can also add a little bit of sugar or honey to the strawberries to help them caramelize.
- If you want a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry to the roasted strawberry sauce. Just mix together equal parts cornstarch and water until smooth, then add it to the sauce and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened.
- Serve the cœur à la crème with the roasted strawberry sauce immediately, while the sauce is still warm.
Conclusion:
Cœur à la crème with roasted strawberry sauce is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The rich and creamy custard filling pairs perfectly with the sweet and tangy strawberry sauce. This dessert is sure to impress your guests, and it is easy to make at home.
