…only nine days late! After seeing all the coeur à la crème posts last week, I was chomping at the bit to make mine this week. Coeur à la crème is nothing new to me. I first made this dessert when I purchased Ina Garten’s Barefoot in Paris at a book signing in 2005. My sister (Codename: Chunklet’s mom) immediately honed in on Ina’s coeur à la crème recipe and asserted that I needed to buy a “heart-shaped pan with perforations.” After buying the pan and cheesecloth (for the first time ever), my experience with coeur à la crème was born. This dessert was as expected: delicious, rich, and creamy. I served it with a four berry coulis and graham crackers on the side, just in case anyone missed having a crust.
This coeur à la crème made as a part of French Fridays with Dorie, a group of bloggers who are cooking their way through Dorie Greenspan’s Around My French Table: More Than 300 Recipes from My Home to Yours.

Beautifully done!
Feb 24, 2013 @ 11:39:11
Yumm!! It looks so good. I have never bought a cheese cloth either, I am always too lazy to find one when I come across recipes with them, but now I think I have to so I can try this one! 🙂
Feb 24, 2013 @ 12:01:28
Not my favorite dessert but its not to be missed around here anymore as my family LOVED it.
Feb 24, 2013 @ 12:15:37
Gorgeous! It turned out wonderful.
Feb 24, 2013 @ 12:19:20
Absolutely perfect. This was really good and plan to do another soon.
Feb 24, 2013 @ 12:21:41
The pan tempts me. Yours looks lovely.
Feb 24, 2013 @ 12:54:15

Félicitations, Yummy. Yours looks gorgeous also. Love the berry pools. And, I laughed over the graham crackers. I love graham crackers and am never without four boxes in my cupboards. But, serving it with Coeur? Never thought of that. I made both Dorie’s and Ina’s last week. Yours is a beautiful-looking dessert.

Feb 25, 2013 @ 06:01:39
Hmmm…I don’t know what type of dessert this is–I’ve never tried this before–but you wouldn’t have to twist my arm to eat it! Looks aweome-O!!
Feb 25, 2013 @ 07:10:01
This would tempt me to violate my “don’t buy a pan for one dish” rule!
Feb 25, 2013 @ 08:29:07
That cake looks like a pillow I want to lay my head on and sleep…
Feb 25, 2013 @ 11:52:14
I’ve never had this dessert – will you send me some?! X
Feb 25, 2013 @ 12:46:05
I’m not familiar with Coeur à la Crème, but boy oh boy, I think I’d like to know it well! This makes such a great presentation in the heart shape!
Feb 25, 2013 @ 14:11:51
I have Ina’s Barefoot in Paris but have never made her coeur. This wasn’t a favorite for me but yours looks delicious
Feb 25, 2013 @ 15:19:54

Feb 27, 2013 @ 09:28:15
Your coeur looks perfect, and I love the multi-berry coulis along with the graham “option”!
Feb 27, 2013 @ 11:33:17
This looks worth trying 🙂
Feb 27, 2013 @ 12:47:55
Gorgeous, love your 4 berries presentation.
Feb 27, 2013 @ 12:57:38
Unbelievable !
It looks gorgeous
Feb 27, 2013 @ 14:47:18
This is really beautiful. Love the vibrant colors from the berries contrasting with the white.
Feb 27, 2013 @ 15:31:37
I’m definitely impressed by this. I’m too chicken to even try FFwD! You are amazing!
Feb 27, 2013 @ 16:38:52
Yours is so pretty, it makes me sick. And I mean that in the nicest way. Me and my flat & ugly Coeur a la Creme are jealous!
Feb 27, 2013 @ 17:19:12
That’s gorgeous! I almost thought you were at a fancy restaurant!
Feb 27, 2013 @ 20:24:51
Beautiful! The graham crackers are a good idea too. 🙂
Feb 27, 2013 @ 20:26:21
wow! what a beautiful dessert!
Feb 27, 2013 @ 21:51:26
I guess it goes without saying the the coeur a la creme mould was worth the purchase? This has been on my list of things to make, but I haven’t invested yet. I’ll remember this post next time I visit my local kitchen shop! Yours looks really beautiful!
Feb 28, 2013 @ 00:25:55
Oh wow, that looks so pretty!
Feb 28, 2013 @ 00:40:06

i am not sure why i haven’t tried this classic recipe. everyone tells me it tastes wonderful. this is going into my bucket list of “must make recipes”…heheh 😛
Feb 28, 2013 @ 14:06:34
Gorgeous! We love Coeur a la Creme. I make it every year for my daughter’s birthday. Yours looks amazing!
Feb 28, 2013 @ 15:48:40
I own that cookbook too, and every time I pass the recipe I long to make it. I’m glad yours turned out so well!
Feb 28, 2013 @ 16:02:15
Lovely looking Coeur a la creme! I am sure it tastes as good as it looks.
Feb 28, 2013 @ 19:35:11
Wow. That turned out so beautiful! I’m really not familiar with this dessert but it looks amazing.
Feb 28, 2013 @ 20:19:27
This was my new favorite as well. Nana surprised me this week and bought me a set of six little individual sized molds. I guess this will cut down the amount I eat in one sitting…….:) Love the graham crackers on the side- genius. I will try Ina’s next as I adore all of her recipes. And her 🙂
Feb 28, 2013 @ 21:09:50
Awww, it’s so pretty. I found this one a little creamy for me, but it was good to try.
