Tradicionalna ukrajinska uskrsna paska je slatki kruh s kvascem. Ali za one koji ne vole dugo kuhati, prikladna je ukusna i slatka paska od sira. Nazivaju je još i kneževska ili kneginjina. Ne treba pečenje. A u sastavu nema brašna. Tradicionalno se ova paska izrađuje u obliku piramide bez oštrog vrha. Ali poslužit će bilo koji kalup za sir (važno je da kalup ima otvore).

Sastojci:

• Svježi sir (5-9% masnoće) 500 g
• Žumanjci 3 kom
• Šećer 100 g
• Maslac 50 g
• Prstohvat soli
• Mlijeko ili vrhnje 100 ml

Priprema:

1. Svježi sir temeljito izmiksajte štapnim mikserom i pomiješajte sa žumanjcima, šećerom, soli, mlijekom i mekanim maslacem. Sirnu smjesu uz stalno miješanje dovedite do vrenja. Po želji možete dodati kandirano voće i orahe. Ostavite da se ohladi na sobnu temperaturu.
2. Kalup obložite vlažnom gazom u nekoliko slojeva. Stavite sirnu smjesu. Na vrh kalupa stavite uteg (staklenku s vodom) i stavite pasku u hladnjak. Nakon 10-12 sati pažljivo izvadite pasku iz kalupa i ukrasite po želji. Dobro se slaže s rastopljenom čokoladom.

Smačnogo! Dobar tek!

Syrna Paska (Sweet Cheese Easter Dessert)

Traditional Ukrainian Easter paska is a sweet yeast bread. But for those who don’t like to cook for a long time, a delicious and sweet paska made from cheese is a great option. It is also called “knjazha” or “knjazivna” paska. It doesn’t require baking, and there’s no flour in it. Traditionally, this paska is made in the shape of a pyramid without a sharp top. But any cheese mold will work (it’s important that the mold has holes).

Ingredients:

• Cottage cheese, 5-9% fat 500 g
• Eggs, yolks 3 pcs
• Sugar 100 g
• Butter 50 g
• Pinch of salt
• Milk or cream 100 ml

Preparation:

1. Thoroughly blend the cottage cheese with a blender and mix with the yolks, sugar, salt, milk, and softened butter. Bring the cheese mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. If desired, you can add candied fruits and nuts. Let it cool to room temperature.
2. Line the mold with several layers of damp cheesecloth. Place the cheese mixture inside. Put a weight (a jar of water) on top of the mold and place the paska in the refrigerator. After 10-12 hours, carefully remove the paska from the mold and decorate as desired. It tastes great with melted chocolate.

Smačnogo! Enjoy!
