HIC Porcelain 24-Ounce 7-1/4-Inch Coeur a La Creme DishHeart Shaped Coeur a La Creme, Porcelain-4"
These are good quality molds. The porcelain is substantial in weight and easy to clean. They were very well-cushioned and packed for shipping and arrived in good time. I know I will have these molds forever and use them for various special occasions, such as birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine's Day, and for the conclusion to any French Feast. These porcelain molds are VERY well-priced....(I did my homework....the same molds were much more money from other venues). These are an investment in your kitchen equipment that you will have forever and will use over and over again. Enjoy them!

This is smaller than I expected. It is a good size for a light dessert.

I purchased these to make the well-known Coeur a la Creme recipe which is on the Food Network website and in Ina Garten's cookbook "Barefoot in Paris" (available on Amazon). I made half the recipe and filled 4 of these 4" hearts to the brim (lined with cheesecloth) and put the remainder into a bowl. After several hours of refrigeration, the creme in the heart dishes hadn't oozed out of the holes, and except for being molded into a heart shape, it tasted and had a texture just the same as the portion I spooned out of the bowl. The half-recipe would easily fill 6 of these dishes for a reasonable serving size of this very rich dessert, however these dishes are not necessary for success. Even the heart shape gets lost under the berry topping. The recipe, however, is not to be missed! Unbelievably Yummy!

I bought these to make Coeur a la Creme for my dessert party. They were a great price and arrived very quickly. My only tip is to use orange glo to get the adhesive from the stickers off of the molds. Molds worked great.
