Categories     project, dessert

Time 20m

Yield Makes six portions

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 quart strawberries, washed and hulled
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
4-ply cheesecloth soaked in ice water to which 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1/8 teaspoon baking soda have been added
1/8 teaspoon of baking soda have been added
1/2 pound cream cheese at room temperature
1/2 pound cottage cheese
1/8 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 cup heavy cream
pink peppercorns

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.

COEUR A LA CREME



Coeur a la Creme image

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.

Time P1DT20m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup heavy cream
2/3 cup sugar
2 egg whites
1 cup (8 ounces) plain organic or low-fat natural yogurt (without any added thickeners such as carrageenan or pectin)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Raspberry coulis
Fresh raspberries for garnish

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.
  • In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites to soft peaks. Continue beating, adding the remaining 1/3 cup sugar 1 tablespoon at a time, until the whites form stiff, glossy peaks. Fold the cream mixture and beaten egg whites into the yogurt. Fold in the vanilla.
  • Line 1 large or 6 individual coeur a la creme molds or a large sieve with a double thickness of damp cheesecloth, allowing the excess to hang over the edge.
  • Fill the prepared mold(s) with the cream mixture and set over a large plate to drain. If using a sieve, set the sieve over a bowl. Fold the excess cheesecloth over the cream. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours.
  • Unwrap and invert the mold(s) onto a serving plate or plates. Remove the cheesecloth. Or, if using the sieve, invert onto a large plate and use an ice cream scoop to spoon individual servings into dessert bowls. Surround the coeur a la creme(s) with raspberry coulis and a few fresh raspberries.

½ cup confectioners' sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (10 ounce) package frozen strawberries in syrup, thawed
1 tablespoon cherry brandy

  • Line two 1/2-cup coeur a la creme molds or two 6-ounce custard cups with double thickness of dampened cheesecloth, extending far enough beyond edges to enclose filling completely.
  • Combine 1/4 cup whipping cream, cocoa and butter in small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth. Remove from heat; cool.

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.
