Categories     dessert

Time 8h24m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
2 1/2 cups cold heavy cream
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest
Seeds scraped from 1 vanilla bean
Raspberry and Grand Marnier Sauce, recipe follows
2 half-pints fresh raspberries
1 half-pint fresh raspberries
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup seedless raspberry jam
2 tablespoons orange-flavored liqueur (recommended: Grand Marnier)

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.

COEUR A LA CREME



Coeur a la Creme image

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.

Time P1DT20m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup heavy cream
2/3 cup sugar
2 egg whites
1 cup (8 ounces) plain organic or low-fat natural yogurt (without any added thickeners such as carrageenan or pectin)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Raspberry coulis
Fresh raspberries for garnish

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 A LA CREME WITH APRICOT SAUCE

You will need 1 large or 8 small coeur a la creme molds for this recipe. You can makeshift by gathering the La Creme in a cheesecloth and sticking a skewer thru the knot and hang it from a large measuring cup to get balls of La Creme.

It is a member of the Parsley family, and is known mostly for it's candied stems for cake decorating, as well as the leaves for teas, tisanes, jams and desserts. It is known as 'Herb of the Angels' (hence the name) because it was believed to have ancient medicinal properties.

Yield 2 servings

For the coeur à la crème:
2 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
2 ounces fresh goat cheese, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla paste or vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Pinch of kosher salt
1/3 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
For the strawberry sauce:
1/2 pound strawberries (about 2 cups), hulled, quartered
2 tablespoons brandy
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla paste or vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of kosher salt
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Finely grated lemon zest (for serving)
Special Equipment:
2 (4") coeur à la crème molds; cheesecloth

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.

Tips:

  • Crème Anglaise: To achieve a smooth and creamy texture, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until thick and pale yellow. Slowly temper the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Génoise Sponge Cake: To ensure an even bake, use a springform pan with a removable bottom. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking. When baking, place the pan in a preheated oven and avoid opening the oven door during the first 20 minutes to prevent the cake from collapsing.
  • Passion Fruit Sauce: To extract the maximum flavor from the passion fruit, use a fine-mesh sieve to strain the pulp, ensuring that all the seeds are removed. This will result in a smooth and vibrant sauce.
  • Assembly: To create a visually appealing dessert, layer the génoise sponge cake, crème anglaise, and passion fruit sauce in individual serving glasses or ramekins. Chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
