Festive Paskha (Molded Easter Cheese Dessert)

This gorgeous paskha will delight the whole family and your guests! For the longest time we thought paskha and Easter kulich (the tall sweet bread) were the same thing. Only about ten years ago I came across this recipe in a cookbook, and now it's the only one I make for the holiday. I tweaked it a bit to make it easier to put together, but I didn't change anything major. I hope you'll love it. It looks a little fussy, but it pays off many times over — the paskha comes out tender, a wonderful treat that everyone in our family adores. You can make little cottage-cheese pastries almost the same way, and the kids gobble those up.
