Equipment

1 tablespoon
1 mix bowl
1 blender
1 Easter mold
2 sushi stick
1 cheesecloth
1 tray
1 jar filled

Ingredients

450 g cottage cheese 9%
150 g sour cream
100 g butter
4-5 drop vanilla extract
2 tbsp powdered sugar

Instructions

Prepare everything you need. It is better to take cottage cheese as fatty as possible, so the dish will be more tender. The butter should be soft by the beginning of cooking.
Put cottage cheese and sour cream in a bowl.
450 g cottage cheese, 150 g sour cream
Add soft, pre-prepared butter and powdered sugar. It is convenient to use powdered sugar, if you take granulated sugar, you will have to beat it for a long time until the grains disappear.
100 g butter, 2 tbsp powdered sugar, 4-5 drop vanilla extract
Blend until the cream is smooth. If you don’t have a blender, the cottage cheese should be passed through a fine sieve twice.
Assemble the pasochka, to strengthen the structure, insert sushi sticks into the latches or tie with a rope. This way it will not fall apart under pressure. Line with damp cheesecloth so that the edges hang down. Place it on a tray to collect the whey. Spoon the cottage cheese mixture to avoid empty spaces.
Fill the entire mold to the top. Fold the edges of the cheesecloth, make a weight.
Put in the refrigerator for 8-12 hours. When the whey stops separating, it means it’s ready.
Turn the mold upside down with a wide base down, disassemble it, remove the cheesecloth. Decorate as desired.
