How to Make Coeurs A La Creme

  1. Press 14 ounces of cottage cheese through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar and mix thoroughly until smooth.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Carefully incorporate this whipped cream mixture into the cottage cheese mixture using a spatula, folding gently to avoid deflating the cream.
  3. If using a single, large mold, no lining is necessary. If using individual molds and you wish to unmold the desserts, line each mold with a piece of cheesecloth or muslin.
  4. In a clean bowl, beat 3 large egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the cheese mixture in three additions, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Spoon the mixture evenly into your prepared molds. Cover and refrigerate overnight (at least 8 hours) to allow the dessert to set and drain excess liquid.
  6. To unmold, carefully invert the molds onto serving plates. Use the cheesecloth/muslin to support the dessert as you gently remove it from the mold. Peel away the cheesecloth carefully.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh strawberries, raspberries, and a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
