    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    1 cup cottage cheese or ricotta cheese
    1/3 cup powdered sugar, sifted
    1 and 1/4 cups whipping cream
    2 ounces semisweet chocolate, grated
    2 egg whites

    Chocolate Cream Sauce:
    2/3 cups half and half
    2 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted

    Recipe



    Line 8 individuals heart-shaped molds with muslin.

    Press cheese through a sieve into a large bowl. Add powdered sugar and whipping cream and beat thoroughly. Stir in grated chocolate. In a small bowl, whisk egg whites until stiff but not dry. Lightly fold into cheese mixture. Spoon mixture into molds. Refrigerate overnight to drain. To prepare chocolate cream sauce, in a small bowl, pour 1/4 of half and half. Stir in melted chocolate. Reserve 1 tablespoon of remaining half and half. Gradually stir remaining half and half into chocolate mixture; stir until smooth.Turn out each heart onto a plate and pour chocolate cream around it. To decorate, drop dots of reserved half and half onto sauce and, using a skewer, feather in a design.

    Variations: Coeurs à la crème may be served with fruit, such as raspberries or strawberries, or with fruit purée as a sauce instead of chocolate cream.
