A lovely dessert -- not too sweet and very creamy. I didn't have any caster sugar so I just whizzed granulated white sugar around the food processor until it was fine enough. I have one large heart shaped silicone mold which I lined with cheesecloth that left a nice basket-weave pattern on the cheese. We had these with both whole strawberries and strawberry coulis, the red was a gorgeous contrast against the white.
