Easter cottage cheese is the most popular dish for the holiday of the Resurrection of Christ. It is believed that the product symbolizes the Holy Sepulcher, which resembles a truncated pyramid in shape. But, since the dish is dessert, aromatic, sweet and beautifully decorated, Easter symbolizes the joy of eternal life.

The main ingredient in the sweetness is cottage cheese. Therefore, great attention should be paid to it. First, it must be fresh, uniform, dry. It is ground twice through a fine sieve or interrupted with a blender so that there are no lumps. It is not recommended to twist it in a meat grinder, because the cottage cheese will turn out not to be airy and saturated with air, but crumpled and crushed. After that, raw, custard or boiled Easter is made from the airy curd mass.

Custard and boiled Easter provides for the heating of all components until a thick custard mass is formed, which is then combined with grated cottage cheese. But in this recipe, I will tell you how to make raw Easter without using heat treatment. It cooks faster, but the result is just as excellent. The mass is plastic and soft, like any curd mass. Such a delicacy will be both a decoration for any Easter table, and will become a gift for those with a sweet tooth!

4. Stir everything again so that the mass is homogeneous and smooth, without lumps.

Note: if the cottage cheese is too wet, then before cooking, be sure to place it in cheesecloth and hang it so that excess whey is glass. If you use homemade cottage cheese, i.e. fatty, you may not need butter. Accordingly, and vice versa, if the cottage cheese is fat-free, then a couple of tablespoons of sour cream or cream can be added to the products.

Place the container on a saucepan and let the Easter press in a cool place overnight. During this time, the serum will flow out of it and the mass will become dense, elastic and will keep its shape well.
