Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 8 oz Mascarpone cheese
- 3/4 cup Powdered sugar
- 1.5 tsp Pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 12 oz Raspberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/4 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup Fresh raspberries for garnish
- 1 sheet Cheesecloth
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mascarpone cheese, and powdered sugar. Beat using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and continue to mix for an additional 30 seconds to incorporate.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with the electric mixer until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula until fully combined.
Line a heart-shaped mold (or a fine-mesh strainer) with a large sheet of cheesecloth, leaving enough excess cloth hanging over the sides to cover the mixture. If you’re using a strainer, place it over a deep bowl to catch any liquid that drains out.
Spoon the cheese mixture into the lined mold or strainer, smoothing the top with a spatula. Fold the excess cheesecloth over the top of the cream mixture to cover it completely.
Refrigerate the mold or strainer for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the mixture to set and excess liquid to drain.
While the Coeur à La Crème is chilling, prepare the raspberry sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine the raspberries (fresh or frozen), granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the sugar dissolves, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the raspberry mixture from heat and strain it through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing with a spatula to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the seeds and let the sauce cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until ready to serve.
To serve, carefully unfold the cheesecloth and invert the Coeur à La Crème onto a serving plate. Remove the cheesecloth gently.
Pour the raspberry sauce over the top and around the sides of the dessert. Garnish with fresh raspberries for an elegant presentation. Slice and serve chilled.
