Clues on how to prepare crème chantilly—But please, whatever you do, try not to butcher the pronunciation of the word “chantilly” the same way this West Coast American fellow (unwittingly) does 
- Préparation of the Cœur de chantilly aux fruits rouges:
- Mix up le fromage frais with 120 g of sucre glace and le sucre vanillé
- Add one big spoon of la crème double
- Cut four squares into the tissue that should be at least three times bigger than the heart-shaped molds
- Put the squares of tissue that you just cut into the molds
- Put the whole thing inside the molds with a spoon, and cover with the extra tissue that you’ve already cut
- Cover the molds with some film alimentaire (plastic wrap)
- Set une assiette (a plate) on top as a weight on each mold and then leave them in the fridge for at least a few hours
- Keep some fruits for what will be later la touche finale: the decoration!
- Wash the other ones (very important!), and smash them with a fourchette (fork), then add what’s left of le sucre glace
- Take your little “hearts” from the fridge, open the covering tissues, and put them in the plates
- Make sure you remove the squares with extreme délicatesse…
- Now you can deliver la touche finale, by decorating the dessert with the fruits you set aside earlier, then pour the sauce on les fruits rouges
- Et voilà, you can now enjoy your délicieux dessert!
