Chocolate-Orange Coeur à la Crème Cheesecake with Cherry Compote image

This coeur à la crème is made in round ramekins which are easier to find than the classic heart-shaped ones. Flavored with chocolate and orange, and covered with cherry compote, it is a decadent treat.

Time 10h40m

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 oz. semi-sweet chocolate
2 pkg. (8 oz. each) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese
1 container (2 cups) sour cream
1/2 cup Passover confectioners' sugar
2 tsp. grated orange peel
1 Tbsp. Passover chocolate liqueur or chocolate-orange liqueur
1 cup frozen pitted cherries, defrosted
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup water

Steps:

  • Melt the chocolate and set it aside to cool. In the bowl of an electric mixer set at medium speed, beat the cream cheese, sour cream and confectioners' sugar for 2 minutes or until smooth. Add the melted chocolate, orange peel and liqueur, if using, and beat for one minute or thoroughly blended.
  • Rinse 8 (6x6-inch) double-layer squares of cheesecloth under water and squeeze them to extract as much water as possible. Line 8 (6-ounce) ramekins with the cheesecloth. Divide the cheese mixture among the prepared ramekins and fold the cheesecloth over the tops. Refrigerate overnight, about 10 hours.
  • To make the compote, combine the cherries, sugar and water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes or until cherries are very soft and the sauce is slightly thickened. Cool completely, break the cherries up with a fork or with an immersion blender and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • To serve, invert the ramekins on top of 8 dessert plates. Remove the cheesecloth. Spoon equal amounts of the cherry compote over each dessert.
