   Line each mold with a piece of the cheesecloth (this is not essential but it gives the dessert a neat patterned finish).

2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk the cheese and cream until smooth, adding a little more cream if necessary so the cheese falls easily from the spoon.

8. 8

   Turn each mold on to a serving plate.

9. 9

   Decorate with whole, unhulled strawberries or raspberries.
