Coeur a la Creme with Raspberry Sauce…#SundaySupper, #Valentine’sDay

I bought a small coeur a la creme mold a couple years ago…and I don’t know what took me SO long to make this incredible dessert. Perfect for Valentine’s Day as the ceramic dish with drainage holes in the bottom is in the shape of a heart. Mine has just a 2 cup capacity which was perfect for the 3 of us…practically a week’s worth of decadence! Both Katie and Bill were nodding their heads in approval as I rattled off the ingredients: cream cheese, cream, vanilla, raspberry sauce…the result is totally ethereal…close your eyes, take a bite and you’ll be in heaven. Don’t you love the delicate crosshatching on the surface? This sensational  dessert involves a full day spent in the specialized  mold, wrapped in cheesecloth, over a dish to catch any liquid drainage. Mine didn’t produce much more than a few drops…the amount will vary depending on the water content of your ingredients.

To serve, place the coeur a la creme on a dish…I put mine over a big ruby puddle of raspberry sauce, but you can use the sauce as a topping instead…then garnish with luscious fresh berries. It would be equally as wonderful with a strawberry sauce…just use the best ripe berries you have available. Hubby definitely enjoyed this…even though there was no chocolate in sight. But until Katie finished off the last two servings in one fell swoop, I did not realize how much she loved this creamy cloud of sweetness.  I shouldn’t have been surprised as this is just a lighter version of her favorite dessert….cheesecake.  Happy Valentine’s Day to all of my Sunday Supper friends and all of YOU!!!

Tip of the Day: You do not need any specialized cookware to make this dish. Just line a bowl with a double layer of cheesecloth, add the cream mixture, fold cheesecloth over top to cover and place in a strainer over a bowl. Refrigerate as directed. It will not be heart shaped but it will delight your taste buds nonetheless!
