The taste is delectable, especially while mixing the creme. However, as one reviewer notes, it does not set up with the way the recipe is written, or rather, it sets up wetly. It does need to be drained at some point during the process. If the consistency had been firmer, I would have given it another star. The raspberry coulis was delicious and simple (I also did not strain, I like the seeds!.

I greatly enjoyed the creme and the coulis, the kid felt they were too tart, and the man liked the creme and thought the raspberries were too tart. I believe the tartness of the raspberries were my fault, however, as I used frozen raspberries with the liquid included and did not compensate enough with sugar.

All in all I would recommend for a casual dinner but not for anything fancy. The next time that I make it, I will be making in individual pots, with crumbled graham cracker on the bottom, creme on top, with a layer of raspberry on top before serving.

Made this one for Valentine's Day dessert. The coulis was divine and went very well with the coeur a la creme. Thanks to the other comments I circumvented needing a draining ramekin by placing a paper towel in the bottom of each to absorb moisture and then lining with cheesecloth. Worked beautifully. Will likely make again.

This may be the easiest dessert that I've made in years but my husband was wowed by the taste and simplicity of presentation. We don't like rasberries so strawberries were substituted. This will make an appearance at the neighborhood diner club soon.

If you have ever made the "real" coeur a la creme, you'll be disappointed with this one. I tried this version of this dessert because it took less time to set up and I was pressed for time and wanted to take this dessert to a dinner party. Don't bother. If you make the authentic version, which uses heavy whipping cream and egg whites, it is truly a magnificent dessert. This is just a bunch of cream cheese, yogurt and sugar. It doesn't have to be put into a mold. What a waste of my time and I didn't have a nice dessert to take to the dinner party.

I had a lot of beautiful raspberries to use up so I decided to try the Raspberry Coulis portion of this recipe. I made a triple batch. SO GOOD! We drizzle it over ice cream, cheese cake, or even cottage cheese as a snack. It would be great over Angel Food cake with some whipped cream....the uses are endless. I would love to try the Coeur a la Creme portion of this some time!

What an Excellant Dessert! It was a perfect and easy. I didn't drain the creme portion and instead of cheese cloth I used a tight weaved dish towel. My husband loved it!
