Coeur à la Creme With Rhubarb Sauce image

This recipe is from my friend Narcissa Titman, who got it from her friend Betty Kramer; Betty no longer recalls where she discovered it. I added the rhubarb sauce. If you don't have heart molds, just use a wide, shallow sieve.

Time 30m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound whole-milk ricotta
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream
3 large egg whites
Pinch salt
4 cups chopped rhubarb (about 8 stalks)
1/3 cup sugar
1 clove
1/4 cinnamon stick

Steps:

  • Line two seven-inch-wide ceramic heart-shaped molds (with holes) or an 8-inch round, shallow sieve with 4 layers of cheesecloth that have been rinsed in cold water and rung out.
  • Using the back of a spoon, press the ricotta through a fine-meshed sieve into a bowl. Stir in the confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Whip the cream and fold it into the ricotta mixture. Whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff, then fold them into the ricotta as well.
  • Fill the lined mold or sieve with the ricotta mixture, making sure you don't flatten or mush it. Fold the excess cheesecloth over the ricotta. Place on a tray or in a bowl and refrigerate overnight to drain.
  • The next day, combine the rhubarb, sugar, clove and cinnamon in a small saucepan. Cover and place over medium heat. Simmer until the pieces are soft but still intact, 5 minutes. Let cool.
  • To serve, unmold the ricotta cream onto a platter and pass it along with the rhubarb sauce.
