Ingredients
1 pound fromage blanc (fresh white cheese) or small curd cottage cheese
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup sour cream
¼ cup granulated sugar, approximately
4 ripe passion fruits
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon passion fruit liqueur
4 ripe strawberries
Preparation
- Step 1
Beat the fromage blanc until smooth. If using cottage cheese, puree it in a blender until smooth. Mix the cheese with the heavy cream and sour cream. Sweeten to taste with the sugar.

Spoon the mixture into four white porcelain coeur a la creme molds or one large coeur a la creme mold. Alternately, you can spoon the mixture into a heart-shaped basket or even into a strainer lined with cheesecloth. Cover the top. Place the mold or basket in a pan in the refrigerator or place the strainer over a bowl in the refrigerator. Allow the cheese mixture to drain at least eight hours or overnight.
- Step 3
Slice off the tops of the passion fruits and scoop the pulp out into a bowl. Mix with the honey and liqueur.
- Step 4
Just before serving, unmold the drained cheese onto a plate or plates. Spoon the sauce around it. Garnish with strawberries.
