Instruction manual
1
Prepare all the ingredients so that they are on hand. Butter should be at room temperature. Sort and soak the raisins in boiling water. If the candied fruits are large, then cut them into pieces. Chop nuts into medium pieces.
The ingredients indicated in the recipe are enough for 2 forms.
2
We take the pan, break the yolks there and beat them with granulated sugar. Pour the cream into the sugar-yolk mixture and put on low heat. It is necessary to ensure that the mixture does not boil. When the sugar has dissolved, you can turn off the fire. Add vanillin and softened butter, mix the mixture and leave it.
3
In a bowl you need to grind the cottage cheese through a sieve or just knead with a fork. After the cottage cheese is mashed, you need to pour in the mixture from the pan. Stir, and then beat with a hand blender until smooth.
4
Drain the raisins, squeeze and leave to dry. Then add raisins, candied fruits and nuts to the curd mass.
5
Take the special shape for the curd Easter. If it is not, then you can take a regular pot with holes or a thick plastic cup and make holes in it from below. Put wet gauze inside the mold. Fill the mold with the curd mass and wrap the edges of the gauze, and put the load on top (a saucer will fit very well, and a glass or mug with water on it).
6
Put the mold in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning Easter will be ready. Take the mold out of the fridge and pull out the curd Easter, remove the cheesecloth. Garnish with colored sugar sprinkles, fruits, candied fruits, chocolate, etc.
