A dessert that many housewives prepare for Easter is cottage cheese Easter. This dish looks most interesting on the table when a special form was used for its preparation - a pasochna. However, on the eve of the holiday, it is not so easy to find this utensil, so many housewives are thinking about what to cook the Easter delicacy in.
Easter cottage cheese is an incredibly tasty dessert that is present on almost every Easter table. Someone prepares this dish using a pasochny, while someone does not see the need for this utensil and makes a festive meal using improvised means.
If you do not have a form for Easter, do not be upset, because you can make a dessert without it, while the dish will look very attractive. So, for the preparation of Easter, you can use a regular sieve or colander. To do this, it is enough to place the curd mass in cheesecloth folded in two or four layers, form a ball and place everything in a sieve or colander, and cover with a plate on top, set oppression. A day later (it is the day that traditional Easter is being prepared), you can lay out Easter in a beautiful flat plate and decorate. It is worth noting that after 24 hours of keeping Easter in a cool place under oppression, you can transfer the curd mixture into a deep plate or cup of the desired shape, covered with parchment, gauze or ordinary cling film, and tamp everything well, then let it stand for an hour or two in a refrigerator. After the specified time, the plate must be turned over on a flat dish, as a result, you will get Easter of the desired shape.
If you want to cook a cone-shaped Easter, then in this case, you can use a grater or a plastic pot of the desired shape as a pasochny, having previously drilled holes in the pot for draining the whey. These options are very convenient, the dessert turns out as if it was prepared in a special pasta box.
A tall, rounded Easter can be made using, for example, a cake mold. Currently, many stores sell tall cardboard blanks for baking cakes, get the shape of the desired diameter and use it. All that is needed is to place the form on a sieve, cover its inside with gauze, lay out the curd mass and put it under oppression. After a day, the finished Easter can be removed and decorated.
