Coeur a la Creme

Coeur a la Creme is French for “Heart with Cream”. Some years ago, I made this delectable dessert for Valentines Day. Earlier, I had been lucky to find the odd-looking porcelain molds at an estate sale. I wasn’t sure why there were holes in the bottom of the cute little heart-shaped molds. When I got home, I researched on the internet and learned the molds were used for Coeur a la Creme. I found the recipe and couldn’t wait to try it on Valentines. Coeur a la Creme is basically, a no-bake cheesecake. You can find Coeur a la Creme recipes on the internet, so I won’t include a recipe here. You will need cheesecloth to line the bottom of your molds. Most recipes call for cream cheese, sour cream, powdered sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract and salt. You can garnish the Coeur a la Creme with raspberry sauce or strawberry sauce. Happy Valentines Day!
