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.
- 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.
COEUR à LA CRèME WITH ROASTED STRAWBERRY SAUCE
Coeur à la crème (cream heart) is a classic French dessert traditionally served with strawberries. This is adapted from a recipe in "Valentine Dinner for Two" from the February 1977 issue of Glamour magazine, which we updated for our 2016 Epi Valentine's Menu.

Steps:
- Make the coeur à la crème:
- Cut 2 (8x8") squares of cheesecloth, soak with cold water, and wring out. Line each mold with damp cheesecloth and set in a small baking pan.
- Whisk cream cheese, goat cheese, vanilla paste, lemon zest, and salt in a medium bowl until smooth. Whisk heavy cream and powdered sugar in another medium bowl until soft peaks form. Fold whipped cream into cheese mixture until well combined. Spoon into prepared molds, fold cheesecloth over, then chill at least 6 hours.
- Make the strawberry sauce:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Mix strawberries, brandy, sugar, vanilla paste, pepper, salt, and 1/4 cup water a small baking dish. Roast, stirring occasionally, until juices are bubbling, about 15 minutes. Let cool slightly, then stir in lemon juice.
- To serve, fold back cheesecloth and invert each coeur à la crème onto a small plate. Garnish with lemon zest and serve strawberry sauce alongside.
- Do Ahead:
- Coeur à la crème can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled in molds until ready to serve.
COEUR A LA CREME WITH RASPBERRY AND GRAND MARNIER SAUCE
Steps:
- Place the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on high speed for 2 minutes. Scrape down the beater and bowl with a rubber spatula and change the beater for the whisk attachment. With the mixer on low speed, add the heavy cream, vanilla, lemon zest, and vanilla bean seeds and beat on high speed until the mixture is very thick, like whipped cream.
- Line a 7-inch sieve with cheesecloth or paper towels so the ends drape over the sides and suspend it over a bowl, making sure that there is space between the bottom of the sieve and the bottom of the bowl for the liquid to drain. Pour the cream mixture into the cheesecloth, fold the ends over the top, and refrigerate overnight.
- To serve, discard the liquid, unmold the cream onto a plate, and drizzle Raspberry and Grand Marnier Sauce around the base. Serve with raspberries and extra sauce.
- Place raspberries, sugar, and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 4 minutes. Pour the cooked raspberries, the jam, and orange liqueur into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process until smooth. Chill.

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.
