Coeur à la crème d'anjou with raspberries recipe
- Cuisine: French
- Prep Time: 4 hr(s) 40 min(s)
- Serves 6
This delicate dessert made with fresh soft cheese is a speciality of Gabriel’s native home of Anjou in France. The coeur or ‘heart’ is moulded in a special heart-shaped porcelain dish that is perforated with holes to drain off the excess moisture of the cheese. (A colander can be used as an alternative, although you won’t end up with the same pretty shape.) The cheese traditionally used is fromage blanc, but quark, which is more widely available in Australia, can be used instead.
Ingredients
2 egg whitespinch of cream of tartar
110 g (½ cup) caster sugar
200 ml cream
250 g quark
juice of 1 ½ lemons
600 g raspberries
juice of 1 orange
icing sugar to dust
Preparation
Beat the egg whites and cream of tartar to stiff peaks. Add one-third of the sugar and continue beating until smooth.Lightly whip the cream in a separate bowl.
In a third bowl whisk the quark with another third of the sugar and one-third of the lemon juice. Fold in the whipped cream, then gently fold in the beaten egg whites.
Place a heart-shaped mould on a tray. Line the mould with damp muslin cloth, then fill with the cream mixture. Cover with the muslin and drain in the refrigerator for at least 4–5 hours or overnight.
Puree half the raspberries with the remaining sugar, lemon juice and orange juice. Pass through a sieve to remove the seeds. Chill in the refrigerator.
Carefully turn the heart out onto a serving plate. Top with the remaining whole raspberries and dust with icing sugar. Serve with the raspberry sauce.

Hot Tips
Goose fat and roast potatoes
Rough up the edges of parboiled potatoes by tossing them around the colander (like you would bounce a tennis ball on a racket) this helps create a crunchy exterior. Add them to the roasting dish with a couple of tablespoons of duck or goose fat, rolling in the fat and season generously.
Glossary
Suet
Raw beef fat sold by butchers and used traditionally where now butter or margarine would be used. Also used in a similar way is pork lard.
