Cottage cheese Easter best recipes. Recipe for Easter cakes from Yulia Vysotskaya with video Easter from cottage cheese from Yulia Vysotskaya

From minced meat

Cottage cheese Easter is one of the main dishes for the Easter table. For it, you need to purchase a collapsible form in the form of a pyramid - a symbol of the Holy Sepulcher. The bean box can be made of wood or plastic, with the letters XB and a cross carved inside. To be honest, I didn’t have one for a long time, and for these purposes I adapted an ordinary round plate. You can use a colander. It is even more convenient, there are holes for whey to drain.

To prepare Easter, buy cottage cheese of excellent quality. It is recommended to either buy it on the market or make it yourself. It must be dry, fresh and homogeneous in composition. Ideally, let the whey drain at the very beginning, then pass through a sieve twice. And only then prepare Easter from it - raw or boiled.

You cannot use a meat grinder instead of a sieve or blender. It compresses the mass, makes it viscous, and does not give it airiness. All products must be fresh and of excellent quality. Pour hot water over almonds or walnuts and leave for about 20 minutes. After time, the skin will peel off easily. After this, fry and chop.

Oil is at least 82.5%, since everything below is classified as trans fat. Steam the dried fruits and chop them (if they are large). We grate the lemon or orange zest on a fine grater, without touching the white part, otherwise the finished product will be bitter.

Grind spices such as cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg in a mortar or coffee grinder and sift through a sieve.

Easter is a labor-intensive dish only at first glance. If you have properly prepared the products in advance, then making it will not be difficult. And the taste is tender, melting. There is an option for chocolate lovers.

I only cook it for holidays. And my daughter, who doesn’t like cottage cheese in its pure form, always destroys part of the dessert by pouring condensed milk on it.

Secrets of cottage cheese Easter

Raw curd paskhas cook quickly, but it is better not to add raisins to them, as they will quickly turn the raw curd paskha sour. Custard and boiled curd paskhas last longer.

Peel the almonds to make them lighter I was filming pouring boiling water over it for 20-30 minutes.

You can check the readiness of the cake for the first time no earlier than after 30 minutes, otherwise the dough will fall off.

I would like to wish you vitality and energy. Continue to delight fans of your talent.

Custard cottage cheese Easter seemed very difficult to prepare to me. The recipe is kind of confusing. But in the video with Grandma Emma, ​​I began to do it step by step: they rub the cottage cheese through a sieve - I rub it, she grinds the mass - and so do I. I was especially afraid that the mixture would burn and spoil so many products. But everything turned out just like in the movies. And the family devoured the new dish faster than the rest of the Easter delicacies.

Custard cottage cheese Easter recipe, which can be found on your website, caught my eye by accident. Previously, I spent hours searching on other portals in the Easter custard sections for recipes, but they didn’t suit me. I liked this one. I did it and liked it. Divine with candied fruits. I have never kneaded dough by pre-heating it. From now on I will do it strictly according to the instructions shown by you. Photos with detailed descriptions helped me complete the task even more. All my friends have already followed my example. We are waiting for new, relevant releases.

About three years ago I mastered baking Easter cakes; I have my own signature recipe, which I share with everyone I know. One day one of them said that what I call Easter is not Easter at all, but Easter cake. And Easter is made from cottage cheese. None of my friends suggested a recipe for cottage cheese Easter to me: there’s no need to mess around, it won’t work anyway, and there’s no shape. It’s good that I didn’t give up and looked at culinary.ru. The good sorceress Grandma Emma found a form for me, showed me the recipe, and taught me how to decorate. My cottage cheese custard Easter was a great success.

Everything on the Easter table is symbolic: Easter cottage cheese in the form of a pyramid is a symbol of the Holy Sepulcher, from which He rose. Therefore, on Easter Sunday there must be Easter custard on the table. Recipes can be different: the most crucial moment is heating over a fire, you must constantly stir and wait for the first bubbles. I learned this from the video. And for the first time my Easter burned on fire. Now I’m waiting for the new Sunday of Christ, Easter custard will definitely be on our table.

A recipe for making cottage cheese Easter is not difficult to find: websites, newspapers, magazines, friends - everyone claims that their recipe is the best. And I believe that even the best recipe is not a guarantee that it will turn out delicious. Personally, I’ve already screwed up three Easters and gave up on this losing cause until I went through the entire cooking process with Grandma Emma on video. She calmly says what needs to be done - and everything works out by itself. This year, my family finally realized that cottage cheese Easter is finger-licking good.

My granddaughter and I were looking for how Easter custard is prepared. The recipe was found on a cooking video. For a long time, my granddaughter memorized how much butter, eggs and sugar she needed for Easter. But all this information flew out of her head. But when the ready-made Easter cottage cheese custard appeared on the table and my granddaughter began to decorate it, I simply gasped: berry to berry, candied fruit to candied fruit, from memory she laid out the same ornament as in the video!

Hello! I would like to thank you for the excellent recipe for making cottage cheese Easter. For the first time in my life I made such a treat yesterday. Inspired by the incredible success of the first batch, I immediately began the second batch for my mother and grandmother. This was our first time trying this type of cake. Unusual, finger licking good. Now this Easter cottage cheese will become the main dish of the festive family table. Health to you and your team.

I found a lot of videos on the Internet about custard-curd Easter. But your site’s Easter cottage cheese recipe inspired me. It turned out amazing. Adding lemon zest gave it an incredible aroma. I will continue to cook according to your recommendations. Thank you.

I express my gratitude to your entire culinary family for founding the site. This is a reference book for beginning chefs. It was easy for me to learn unique wisdom from the advice of my wise, experienced grandmother Emma. I was pleased with the recipe called Easter cottage cheese custard. Quick to prepare, affordable ingredients, amazing taste. Good luck, prosperity, prosperity.

All my relatives are grateful to you for the idea of ​​the cottage cheese Easter custard dessert. My daughter and I spent some useful time in the kitchen. We are glad to see the arrival of a new branded sweet for the bright Easter day. I advised my friends to join the many guests of your resource.

Once, a master I knew gave me a real bean bag: wooden, with crosses and the letters XB on the sides. And I thought that Easter cottage cheese custard, the recipe for which I read in an Orthodox newspaper, would be ready without any problems. No such luck: my Easter fell apart, I cooked it raw, I thought it would be easier. Now I found a cooking video on how Easter cottage cheese custard is prepared: it’s not complicated, I’ll definitely try it this year.

Cottage cheese Easter is an integral attribute of the festive table on the bright holiday of Easter. But this dish is not as popular and is not found as often as or. It seems to me that this is due to the fact that most housewives think that Easter cottage cheese has a complex recipe. After all, such a delicious dish is probably difficult to prepare.

But in reality this is not the case at all. There are even recipes that require no baking. So they don't require a long stay in the kitchen. The only thing you definitely cannot do without is a bean bag - a special shape in the form of a truncated trapezoid, which symbolizes the Holy Sepulcher.

Bean bags can be bought in the store without any problems. They can be made of wood or plastic, and have special grooves inside that form the letters XB and other ornaments on Easter.

The material of the Easter box does not matter; it does not affect the final appearance of the Easter.

Let's see what interesting ways you can prepare such a wonderful dish as cottage cheese Easter (paska).

A simple recipe for custard Royal Easter with raisins and dried apricots

Let's start with the most popular recipe for Royal Easter. It got its name, like it did, for containing a large number of nuts, which in the 18th century only wealthy people could afford and such dishes could only be found on rich royal tables.


Ingredients:

  • Cottage cheese – 500 g
  • Eggs - 2 pcs
  • Sugar - 100 g (to taste)
  • Vanilla sugar - 1 sachet
  • Sour cream 20% – 100 g
  • Butter - 100 g
  • Raisins – 100 g
  • Dried apricots – 80 g
  • Nuts - 50 g
  • Salt - a pinch
  • Easter mold 20 cm high

Preparation:

1. Pour boiling water over raisins and dried apricots and leave for 20 minutes. The dried fruits should soften and soften, after which the dried apricots should be cut into small pieces.


2. Place the cottage cheese in a small saucepan (which can then be put on fire) and beat with a blender or simply pass through a meat grinder to obtain a soft plastic mass.

It is better to take cottage cheese with medium fat content of 2-3%, and not wet


3. Add eggs, sugar, sour cream and butter to the cottage cheese and mix together until smooth.


4. Place the pan on low heat and bring the cottage cheese to a boil. But under no circumstances should you really boil it. We just wait for the first bubbles and remove the pan from the heat.

The cottage cheese will soften as it heats up and by the time it is ready, the consistency will resemble sour cream.

The finished cottage cheese should be placed directly in a deep bowl with cold water and whisked until it cools to room temperature. Then add dried fruits and nuts and mix again.


5. Take the bean bag, place it on a flat plate with a narrow top and lay it out with one or two layers of gauze.


6. Fill the mold with curd mass, cover the edges with gauze. Then we place a saucer on the base of the future pyramid, and on top we put a liter jar of water so that it acts as a press.


7. Place this entire structure in the refrigerator overnight to drain excess liquid.

You need to keep Easter under pressure from 8 hours to 2 days

Then we take the Easter out of the refrigerator, turn it over and carefully remove the mold, after which we also carefully remove the gauze. You can decorate Easter with confectionery sprinkles, chopped nuts or chocolate chips.


How to cook cottage cheese Easter without eggs with gelatin and poppy seed filling

If you don’t risk messing with eggs that haven’t been fully cooked, then you can exclude them from the recipe, but still make an equally delicious sweet.


Ingredients:

  • Easter uniform
  • Cottage cheese – 700 g
  • Sugar - 300 g
  • Walnuts – 50 g
  • Raisins – 50 g
  • Poppy – 100 g
  • Cream - 100 g
  • Milk – 250 ml
  • Gelatin - 1 tbsp
  • Vanilla sugar - 10 g
  • Water - 1/2 cup


Preparation:

1. Pour gelatin into a small bowl and add some water at room temperature. You need literally a couple of fingers thick of water. Stir and leave to swell for 15 minutes.


After it swells, place the bowl in a saucepan with a small amount of water (so that it does not reach the middle of the bowl). Place the pan on low heat and wait until the gelatin dissolves completely. Then immediately remove the pan from the stove.


2. In a separate deep bowl, mix the cream with vanilla sugar and half of the prepared regular sugar. Pour gelatin into it and begin to add cottage cheese in portions, blending it with a blender.


3. Let's move on to the poppy seed filling. The poppy seeds must first be ground in a blender or coffee grinder. For further cooking we need a saucepan. We pour crushed poppy seeds into it, pour milk and add the remaining sugar. Mix everything and put on low heat for 15 minutes. Stir occasionally.

During this time, the milk will completely evaporate and only a sweet sticky poppy mass will remain in the pan.


4. We transfer it to a plate and, until it has cooled down, add the raisins, washed in boiling water and dried with a towel.

There is no need to pre-soak the raisins, the point is that they will absorb all the moisture remaining in the poppy seeds and the filling will acquire the correct consistency


5. Dry the nuts on a baking sheet in the oven, chop them with a knife and mix with poppy seeds.


6. Take the bean bag and place its narrow top on a flat plate. We line the walls of the bean box with wet gauze folded in half.

After lining, there should still be enough gauze hanging from the bean box so that it can completely cover the base of the bean box


7. Place the curd mixture in the pan so that it is filled halfway. Then we place a layer a couple of centimeters thick on the inner walls so that the center of the bean box remains empty. We will put the poppy seed filling there.


8. Fill the resulting cavity with filling. We do this carefully so as not to damage the curd edges.


9. Seal the bean box with the remaining cottage cheese and cover the base with gauze. Then we place a saucer on the base and a liter jar of water on top. And under such oppression, we leave Easter in the refrigerator overnight so that the cottage cheese is compressed and all the excess liquid drains out.


10. The next day we take out the bean bag, carefully open it and remove the gauze.

You need to do this very carefully, do not forget that Easter is filled with filling and it is not as dense as usual

Curd caramel Easter without baking with boiled condensed milk

If you want to diversify your holiday table, you can prepare a wonderful caramel Easter. Caramel flavor is imparted using regular boiled condensed milk. So the recipe doesn't get any more complicated.


Ingredients:

  • Butter - 100 g
  • Cottage cheese – 300 g
  • Sour cream – 100 g
  • Boiled condensed milk – 200 g
  • Dried apricots – 40 g

  • Easter box with a volume of 0.5 l

Preparation:

1. Place butter, cottage cheese, sour cream and condensed milk in one bowl and turn everything into a homogeneous mass using a blender.


2. Soak dried apricots in boiling water for 10 minutes, then dry with a paper towel and cut into small pieces.

We dry the walnuts in the oven and also chop them.

Add the crushed ingredients to the curd mass. Mix well.


3. Place the Easter egg with its narrow top on a flat plate and line its walls with damp gauze folded in two layers.

We try to prevent the gauze from forming folds on the walls that will be imprinted on the cottage cheese


4. Cover the base of the Easter egg with gauze and place a jar of water or other suitable container that can press on the curd without touching the walls of the Easter egg. This design should be left in the refrigerator for 12 hours.


Remember to periodically check the Easter and drain the liquid from the bottom plate so that it does not absorb back into the curd

5. After this, turn the Easter over, remove the mold and carefully remove the gauze.


Step-by-step recipe for Easter baking with semolina in the oven

The curd sweetness can also be baked. Of course, you can’t put the bean bag in the oven (if it’s plastic), so we’ll cook it in standard cylindrical molds.


Ingredients:

  • Cottage cheese % - 1 kg
  • 6 proteins
  • 6 yolks
  • Sour cream - 1 cup (250 ml)
  • High fat cream - 100 ml
  • Semolina - 1 tbsp
  • Starch - 1 tbsp
  • Baking powder - 1 tsp
  • Lemon juice - 1 tbsp
  • Dried fruits - 100 g
  • Sugar - 180 g
  • Vanilla sugar, ground nutmeg, cardamom, cinnamon - optional


Preparation:

1. First of all, you need to grind the cottage cheese through a sieve or beat it with a blender, and combine the yolks with half the prepared sugar and beat with a mixer until the mixture becomes white and homogeneous.

After this, add the egg mass to the cottage cheese and mix well.


2. Add sour cream with cream, sifted semolina, baking powder and starch to the curd mass. We also send lemon juice, a couple of packets of vanillin and, if desired, half a teaspoon of nutmeg and cardamom. Mix.

Add cinnamon and dried fruits to the resulting mixture and mix well again.


3. Take the chilled whites, add the remaining sugar and a pinch of salt to them and beat with a mixer at high speed for 10-15 minutes until stable white peaks appear.


4. Place the whipped whites into the curd mass and mix gently with a spoon.

Set aside a third of the whipped egg whites and put them in the refrigerator; we will decorate the finished Easter with this part.


5. Take cylindrical baking pans, line the bottom and sides of the pans with parchment paper and fill them with curd mass to 3/4 of the height. Cover the molds with foil, place them on a baking sheet with high sides and pour regular water into the baking sheet to half its height.


6. Place the baking sheet in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees for 50 minutes, then remove the foil and keep the Easter for another 20 minutes.

Then turn off the oven and leave the baking sheet in it for another 20 minutes.

But that is not all. After removing the pans from the oven, do not remove the Easter eggs for another 30 minutes until they have cooled completely. The curd mass is heavy and may settle if taken out too early


7. When the curd desserts have cooled completely, decorate them with the previously set aside protein glaze.


As you can see, all the recipes are very different and I hope that you liked one of them.

I would like to think that I have dispelled your fears about preparing such a wonderful holiday dish as Easter cottage cheese.

That's all for today, thank you for your attention.
