Festive Easter

A very beautiful Easter will delight the whole family and guests! For a very long time we believed that Easter and Easter cake are the same thing. Only 10 years ago I saw a recipe in a cookbook, and now I'm preparing Easter for the holiday only according to this recipe. I changed it a little to make it easier to cook, but in principle I did not make any serious changes. I will be glad if you like this recipe. It looks a little troublesome, but it pays off handsomely – Easter turns out to be tender, this is a wonderful treat that everyone likes in our family. In addition, it is almost as possible to cook cottage cheese cakes, which children eat with pleasure.

    Decorate the top of Easter

I pass fresh cottage cheese through a meat grinder twice so that the resulting mass is without lumps.

I fry sesame a little in a frying pan without oil so that it has a pleasant golden color.

Mix sesame seeds and skipped cottage cheese.

Add eggs, sour cream and sugar, mix thoroughly.

I put the mixture in a saucepan, put it on low heat. Here we need to be careful, because the mixture will settle, and we need to bring it to a boil. Therefore, I constantly mix the contents of the pan, and as soon as bubbles appear, I immediately remove them from the fire.

Then Easter should be cooled down quickly. I do it this way: I put a saucepan with a curd mixture in a deeper container, and turn on running cold water. It turns out something like a cold water bath.

I don't have a pasochnitsa, so I use a regular colander. I put wet gauze in it, on which I spread the letters "XB" with raisins. I put the colander on the pan where the serum will drain. Pour the mixture into a colander, wrap the gauze on the mixture. I cover everything with a plate on which I put the load.

Now the whole "construction" must fit in the refrigerator for 12 hours. All the whey will drain, and Easter will become dense, about like Adyghe cheese.

I turn Easter on a dish, remove the gauze. The top of Easter is sprinkled with a little pastry decorations.

Now Easter is ready, you can serve it on the table. This is how a festive cottage cheese Easter looks on the cut.
