Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Using a heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut 12 hearts from the cream cheese or curd, ensuring they are uniform in thickness.
  3. Place the cheese hearts on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are firm but not browned.
  5. Remove from the oven and let the hearts cool completely on a wire rack.
  6. While the hearts cool, prepare the raspberry coulis by blending fresh raspberries with a little sugar and straining through a sieve for a smooth sauce.
  7. In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with caster sugar and a splash of vanilla until stiff peaks form.
  8. Using a piping bag fitted with a star tip, pipe a generous dollop of whipped cream onto each cooled cheese heart.
  9. Spoon or drizzle the fresh raspberry coulis over the whipped cream filling.
  10. Garnish with whole raspberries or mint leaves if desired, and serve immediately.
