VANILLA CREAMS WITH STRAWBERRIES IN CASSIS



Vanilla Creams with Strawberries in Cassis image

Flavored creams (rose cream, geranium cream) served with berries are common in Britain. This take on the classic is a mix of drained yogurt and _fromage blanc_ (fresh cream cheese). The soft, not too-sweet creams taste like a cross between an American-style pudding and a panna cotta. Keep in mind that the desserts need to chill at least eight hours.
