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.

I love how versatile this recipe is. You can use any type of berry you like, and you can adjust the amount of sugar to taste. I also like to add a little bit of lemon zest to the cream for a bit of extra flavor.

This dessert is sinfully decadent! The strawberries were perfectly ripe and juicy, and the coeur a la creme was light and fluffy. I loved the contrast between the tartness of the berries and the sweetness of the cream.
