  • Prep 15 min
  • Total 4 hr 15 min
  • Servings 8

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 envelope unflavored gelatin (2 teaspoons)
  • 2 cups fat-free cottage cheese
  • 4 oz (half 8-oz package) reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchâtel)
  • 4 oz (half 8-oz package) fat-free cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 cups fresh raspberries, blackberries, blueberries or combination

Steps

  • 1
    In 1-quart saucepan, place water; sprinkle with gelatin. Let stand 1 minute to soften. Heat over medium heat about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until gelatin is dissolved. Remove from heat; cool slightly.
  • 2
    In food processor, place remaining ingredients except berries. Cover; process 1 to 2 minutes, stopping processor to scrape down sides as needed, until very smooth. Stir in cooled gelatin mixture.
  • 3
    Line 3-cup shallow heart-shaped mold or bowl with cheesecloth, leaving cloth hanging over side of mold. Pour in cheese mixture; fold cloth loosely over top. Refrigerate at least 4 hours until just firm or overnight.
  • 4
    Place serving plate upside down over mold; turn plate and mold over. Remove mold. Garnish with berries.

  • This classic French dessert will remind you of a very creamy no-bake cheesecake minus the crust. It can be made up to 2 days ahead.
  • Coeur à la crème molds can be found in gourmet shops. They are heart-shaped with holes in the bottom so liquid can drip off as the mold chills.
