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.
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:
- Make the coeur à la crème:

- 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.

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.
