Preparation

Step 1
Beat the fromage blanc until smooth. If using cottage cheese, puree it in a blender until smooth. Mix the cheese with the heavy cream and sour cream. Sweeten to taste with the sugar.
Step 2
Spoon the mixture into four white porcelain coeur a la creme molds or one large coeur a la creme mold. Alternately, you can spoon the mixture into a heart-shaped basket or even into a strainer lined with cheesecloth. Cover the top. Place the mold or basket in a pan in the refrigerator or place the strainer over a bowl in the refrigerator. Allow the cheese mixture to drain at least eight hours or overnight.
Step 3
Slice off the tops of the passion fruits and scoop the pulp out into a bowl. Mix with the honey and liqueur.
Step 4
Just before serving, unmold the drained cheese onto a plate or plates. Spoon the sauce around it. Garnish with strawberries.
