I recently found this Coeur a la Creme recipe that was a favorite dessert of a relative of mine, Berenice Harley Korshet. She lived in San Francisco, was a freelance reporter, and loved to cook!

Ingredients:

1 pint small curd cottage cheese
1 6 ounce package Philadelphia cream cheese
1 teaspoon powdered sugar
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup commercial sour cream

Method:

Press cottage cheese through a wire strainer and blend thoroughly with softened cream cheese. Add sour cream. Add sugar, almond extract, and vanilla. Beat thoroughly. Pack mixture into a cheese-cloth lined heart shaped coeur a la creme mold (preferably wicker). Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Unmold on a small platter or cake dish, surround with sugared strawberries.
