Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups fresh cheese
1 cup heavy cream
3 egg whites
1 quart fresh strawberries or raspberries
sugar or vanilla sugar

Steps:

  • 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.
