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.)

COEUR A LA CREME
This creamy fresh cheese dessert is simple to prepare and requires no cooking! Although the traditional porcelain mold makes a charming heart-shaped dessert, the cream can also be drained in a large cheesecloth-lined sieve. Simply scoop as you would ice cream, drizzle with raspberry coulis and garnish with fresh raspberries. This coeur a la creme is light and delicately creamy, and the variation that follows is denser and more luscious. Both are delicious.

Steps:
- Stir the cream and 1/3 cup of the sugar together in a large bowl. Beat the sweetened cream until soft peaks form. Set aside.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, red strawberries for the best flavor.
- If you don't have a double boiler, you can create one by placing a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water.
- Make sure the cream mixture is hot but not boiling when you add the chocolate. If the cream is too hot, it will seize the chocolate and cause it to become grainy.
- Allow the chocolate mixture to cool slightly before folding in the whipped cream. This will help to prevent the whipped cream from deflating.
- Serve the strawberries with coeur a la creme immediately, or chill them for later.
Conclusion:
Strawberries with coeur a la creme is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your strawberries sweet or tart, with or without chocolate, this dessert is sure to please everyone.
