Combine thoroughly the cottage cheese, cream sheese and salt. Gradually add the heavy cream, beating constantly until the mixture is smooth.<br>2. Turn the mixture into individual heart-shaped baskets or molds with perforated bottoms. Place on a deep plate and refrigerate to drain overnight. One large basket may be used, if desired.<br>3. When ready to serve, unmold the hearts onto chilled plates and serve with crushed sweetened strawberries. Garnish, if desired, with whole fresh strawberries.<br><br>NY Times Cookbook, p. 606, Craig Claiborne, 1961.<br><br>Notes:<br>1. Since your basket is German you might want to try cherries doused with kirschwasser (potent, I've got more than I can use in a lifetime)<br>2. I had trouble unmolding the thing, so I tried lining the mold with coarse cheesecloth -- this was successful.<br>3. Once I made it for Valentine's day, placed it on a plate on a large basket tray and had the florest make a beautiful ring of flowers to surround it. Was a nice centerpiece.<br>4. Enjoy!

Another idea for use of the dish is making yo-cheese. Slightly salted (to taste) plain yoghurt, again, with the cheese cloth...drained for a couple of days and then rolled up and balled up as a cheese ball...you can add your chopped veggies, or whatever into the mix...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
