Coeur a la Creme
- 2 cups fresh cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 egg whites
- 1 quart fresh strawberries or raspberries
- sugar or vanilla sugar
- Line each mold with a piece of the cheesecloth (this is not essential but it gives the dessert a neat patterned finish).
- In a large bowl, whisk the cheese and cream until smooth, adding a little more cream if necessary so the cheese falls easily from the spoon.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff.
- Gradually fold them into the cheese and cream.
- Spoon the mixture into the mold or molds, set on a tray and cover.
- Leave to drain in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours and up to 36 hours.
- An hour or two before serving, hull the strawberries, reserving 6-8 for decoration, or pick over the raspberries.
- Turn each mold on to a serving plate.
- Decorate with whole, unhulled strawberries or raspberries.
- Chill until serving.
- Sprinkle the remaining prepared berries with 1-2 teaspoons sugar and leave to macerate until serving.
