Eastern European Molded Cheese (Pasha Recipe)– Delicious Desserts!
Of all foods, pasha recipe was the first dessert I made myself as a teenager. I still remember the excitement at all stages of preparation: stir butter and sugar; Add vanilla, toasted almonds, and dried fruits; whip the cream; Place cheesecloth over a mold, and finally anticipate how it will look and taste after it has been drained overnight. I had never eaten pasha recipe before. It was an opulent and exotic recipe choice. I don't know where I got the idea from. to do that. All the cream and butter! It was a stark contrast to what we ate on vacation.

Pascha is a dish that is prepared in the Eastern Orthodox tradition after the Great Lent and is blessed by the priest after the Easter Vigil, a service that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus. When pasha recipe migrated from Russia to the Finnish Easter menu, it lost religious significance. Most of the Finns are Protestants.
Originally pasha recipe has the shape of a truncated pyramid in a beautifully carved wooden profile. It is decorated with the Cyrillic letters XB, which represent the Slavic form of the greeting "Christ is risen". The whiteness of curd, cream, and butter symbolizes the purity of Jesus. Passover is crowned with a red candle, a reminder of the illuminating light and the blood that was shed for our sins.
I forgot to add cream cheese to the pasha recipe! As a result, it did not keep its shape. To hide the mistake, I served it in lemon peel. It added freshness, even without the quark it was rich since I had run out of vanilla I spiced it up with anise, fennel, and cardamom.
