It is necessary
- - Cottage cheese 700 grams
- - Yolk 4 pcs.
- - Granulated sugar 1 glass
- - Butter 1 pack
- - Cream 200 ml.
- - Vanillin 1 small pack (optional)
- - Raisins 1 glass
- - Candied fruits, nuts 1/2 cup (optional)
- - Pan
- - Gauze
- - Bowl
Instructions
Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients so that they are on hand. The butter should be at room temperature. Sort out and soak the raisins in boiling water. If the candied fruits are large, then cut them into pieces. Chop the nuts into medium pieces.
The ingredients specified in the recipe are enough for 2 forms.
Step 2
We take a saucepan, break the yolks there and beat them with granulated sugar. Pour cream into the sugar-yolk mixture and put on low heat. It is necessary to ensure that the mixture does not boil. When the granulated sugar has dissolved, you can turn off the fire. Add vanillin and softened butter, stir the mixture and set aside.
Step 3
In a bowl, you need to grind the cottage cheese through a sieve or simply mash with a fork. After the cottage cheese is wiped, you need to pour the mixture from the pan into it. Stir and then whisk with a hand blender until smooth.
Step 4
Drain the water where the raisins are located, squeeze and leave to dry. Then add raisins, candied fruits and nuts to the curd mass.
Step 5
Get a special Easter cottage cheese pan. If it is not there, then you can take a regular pot with holes or a dense plastic cup and make holes in it from below. Place wet cheesecloth inside the mold. Fill the mold with the curd mass and wrap the edges of the gauze, and place the load on top (a saucer is very suitable, and a glass or mug of water on it).
Step 6
Put the mold in the refrigerator overnight. Easter will be ready in the morning. Take the mold out of the refrigerator and take out the Easter cottage cheese from it, remove the cheesecloth. Decorate the top with colored sugar sprinkles, fruits, candied fruits, chocolate, etc.
