PASKHA



Paskha image

This traditional Russian dessert is similar to a no-bake cheesecake. Dried-pineapple cutouts embellish this cake, but Martha sometimes uses jelly beans instead.

Time 8h25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds fresh farmer cheese, room temperature
6 egg yolks, room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
1/4 teaspoon grated fresh nutmeg
Zest of 1 orange
1/3 cup finely chopped candied citron or lemon peel
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Assorted dried fruits, for decorating (optional)

Steps:

  • Press cheese through a medium strainer set over a bowl.
  • Using a mixer with the whisk attachment, whisk yolks with sugar on high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Reduce speed to medium; add cheese, butter, nutmeg, zest, and peel and mix until very smooth. Still mixing, add cream in a slow, steady stream just until combined. Stir in vanilla.
  • Line a 5 1/2-by-7-inch paskha mold, flowerpot, or strainer with dampened cheesecloth; add batter. Fold cheesecloth over top. Top with two stacked plates weighted with 2 to 3 cans (or 2 to 3 pounds of pie weights). Place filled mold over a wide, empty cooking pot in refrigerator; let drain overnight.
  • Remove weights and plate; pull back cheesecloth from base. Carefully invert mold onto a serving plate and remove paskha; remove cheesecloth. Decorate with dried fruits; serve.

PASHKA



Pashka image

Pashka is a cheese cake-like dessert or breakfast food that is usually eaten with thick-crusted breads, but I like it plain, too. Though no cooking is needed, it does chill over night. My Bestemor has made this for me since I was a child and I have always loved it!

PASKHA CHEESE



Paskha Cheese image

Categories     Milk/Cream     Mixer     Cheese     Easter     Vegetarian     Raisin     Brandy     Spring     Sour Cream     Gourmet

Yield Makes10 generous servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/3 cup brandy
1 cup loosely packed golden raisins (5 ounces)
2 pounds farmer cheese*
2 hard-boiled large egg yolks (reserve whites for another use if desired)
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup chilled heavy cream
Special Equipment
a wooden paskha cheese mold** or a clean 2-quart terra-cotta flowerpot with a drainage hole and a plate slightly smaller than top of pot; cheesecloth; 2 lb of weights such as large soup or vegetable cans

Steps:

  • Heat brandy with raisins in a small saucepan over low heat until warm, then remove from heat and let steep until raisins are softened, about 15 minutes.
  • Force cheese and yolks through a potato ricer or a medium-mesh sieve into a bowl.
  • Beat together butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add cheese mixture, sour cream, vanilla, and salt and beat until just combined. Beat cream in a bowl with cleaned beaters until it holds soft peaks. Fold whipped cream and raisins with any remaining brandy into cheese mixture gently but thoroughly.
  • Line mold (or flowerpot) with a single layer of cheesecloth, leaving a 2- to 3-inch overhang on all sides. Spoon cheese mixture into mold, then fold ends of cheesecloth over top. Put lid on cheesecloth, then put weights on lid (or on foil and small plate if using flowerpot). Chill mold on a large plate (to catch drips) at least 24 hours.
  • Remove lid from mold and open cheesecloth. Invert a serving plate over top of mold and invert mold onto plate. Unlock hinges and open mold, removing cheesecloth. Loosely cover cheese with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
  • *Available at some supermarkets, many cheese shops, and Murray's cheese shop (888-692-4339).
  • **We got our mold from Toroney's Custom Woodwork and Church Supply (610-942-3506).

PASKHA - AN OLD RUSSIAN EASTER TRADITION



Paskha - an Old Russian Easter Tradition image

Sort of like a cheesecake this festive dish is an old tradition from Russia. The farmer's cheese can be purchased at any store that carries traditional Kosher foods. There are special molds that can be used to give it the traditional tower shape but it can also be molded in a regular kitchen colander or clay flower pots. You will need cheesecloth for this recipe. It is so beautiful when served with Kulich which is the traditional Russian Easter bread. ** Please note that the original recipe calls for 4 cups of sugar rather than 2 cups. We just don't care for too much sugar.**

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 lbs farmer cheese
1 1/2 lbs unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 pints whipping cream
2 vanilla beans or 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
2 cups sugar
5 egg yolks

Steps:

  • Drain farmer's cheese of all moisture by placing cheesecloth in colander and weighting down with bricks or other heavy items. Drain overnight in refrigerator.
  • Beat butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar until creamy.
  • Whip 1/2 cup sugar with the 5 egg yolks until white.

  • Whip the whipping cream until firm and fold into above.
  • Line container of choice (wooden mold, clay flower pots or kitchen colander with damped cheesecloth.
  • Fill mold with cheese mixture, wrapping excess cloth over top. Make sure to place plate to catch drips underneath mold.
  • Refrigerate at least 6 days before you unmold the Paskha (I have never waited this long -- ) Paskha should be firm to touch in order to hold the shape well.
  • Turn mold upside down onto decorative plate and gently pull the cheesecloth off.
  • Decorate with candied fruits, nuts, raisins or any other edible item you choose. Traditional decorations includes Christian symbols such as crosses, etc. This dish is only served during the Easter season in Russia.
