Ingredients
Servings 10-12- 1 kg of tasty moderately dry cottage cheese with a fat content of 9%
- 500 ml cream with fat content from 33%
- 4 yolks
- 250 g butter
- 160-180 g sugar
- a pinch of vanilla sugar
- 20-30 g raisins
- 50 g candied fruit
Cooking
Step 1
Prepare cottage cheese for Easter. To do this, wrap it in gauze and put it under pressure for 5-6 hours to remove excess moisture. Then pass it through a sieve twice. If the cottage cheese is poorly wiped, you can pass it through a meat grinder twice.
Step 2
Pour half the cream into a small bowl, add the yolks. Heat the remaining cream in a saucepan, do not bring to a boil, then beat with a whisk. Continuing to beat, add the cream with yolks and cook over low heat, do not let it boil until the cream thickens. Remove from fire and cool.
Step 3
Grind the softened butter for Easter with white sugar. Add thickened cream, butter with sugar and vanilla sugar to the grated cottage cheese. Beat with a mixer until a fluffy homogeneous mass is formed.
Step 4
Rinse raisins for Easter thoroughly. If the raisins are very dry, they must be steamed in a water bath, and then dried with a linen towel or napkins. Candied fruits - lemon, orange, melon - finely chopped. Add raisins, candied fruits and vanilla sugar to the curd mass; mix thoroughly so that the additives are evenly distributed.
Step 5
Line the inside of the bean bag with slightly damp gauze. This is done so that the Easter can be easily removed from the mold. Fill the form very tightly with the curd mass, cover with a saucer, put a light oppression on top and refrigerate for 10-12 hours. Remove Easter from the refrigerator, turn it over onto a plate. First remove the bead, then the gauze.
