Cottage cheese Easter without cottage cheese eggs - 7 cooking recipes

The common name “Easter” brings together dishes made from cottage cheese, which have ritual significance and are served on one of the main Christian holidays. In the classic version, this is a no-bake dish, which is prepared using a weight in a special form with religious symbols. Some people mistakenly use the word Easter for recipes that have nothing to do with it (for example, Easter cakes).

Products for traditional Easter are most often the following: cottage cheese, butter, powdered sugar, sour cream, vanillin. And dried fruits for filling: raisins, dried apricots, prunes. It is always prepared without baking and always without eggs. The prepared homogeneous mass, in which all the listed ingredients are mixed with each other, is transferred to a cone-shaped form. They are compacted and pressed down with a load. Leave it overnight. During this time it will become denser and can be easily cut. All that remains is to carefully remove it from the mold. This dish is called “Easter”.

There are many varieties of it - that is, it can be prepared according to different recipes, with the addition of additional products. For example, condensed milk, regular milk, cream, nuts, cocoa, chocolate, pieces of fresh fruit, berries, candied fruits, gelatin. In some cases, the curd mass is boiled in a water bath, thereby making it custard.

Because of the ritual significance mentioned above, only one Easter is usually prepared, while many Easter cakes are made.
