How to make pashka recipe
- Use an electric mixer to mix farmer cheese, butter, and sugar. Now Heat the mixture in a saucepan until it reaches boiling point. Do not boil.
- Blend with a hand blender until you achieve a smoother consistency Add vanilla and lemon zest. Add dried fruits. Now Put in the freezer for 10 minutes or chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
- After refrigeration, your Paskha will become thicker. Mix heavy cream until stiff peaks are achieved and add to Paskha. Two layers of wet cheesecloth are used to line the Paskha mold (see below). Once the Paskha is loaded, place it on the mold. Place it in a bowl.
- Add the topping. It was a hamburger press in my case, but you could also use a jar with water. Refrigerate your Paskha overnight. The next day, remove the Paskha from the mold and place it on a platter.
