Instructions:

(*) For 6-12 people.

Fill the whipped cream (1) into a wide saucepan or possibly into a frying pan with a high rim and put it into the hot oven (175 °C ). After some time, a thick, light brown skin will form on the surface, which should be skimmed off into a suitable bowl. Repeat the process until all the whipped cream has become browned “cream skin”.

Beat the butter with the powdered sugar and vanilla until creamy and gradually add the yolks (raw or cooked and strained). Add the curd cheese and the cooled “cream skin” and mix everything together very well.

Mix with candied fruit cut into small cubes and fold in the stiffly whipped cream (2). Fill the quantity into the mold (***). Dry in the refrigerator for 24_hours. Weigh down the mixture repeatedly and place the mold in a container, as liquid will leak out during the drying process.

(**) Allow the curd to drain and additionally press it out (wrap it in a napkin, place it between two wooden boards and weigh it down for one night, e.g. with a stone or with a saucepan filled with water). Then the curd is strained.

(***) The pasha is prepared in a pyramid-shaped wooden mold, which is flattened on the narrow side and has one or more holes to allow the liquid to drain. As a substitute for a paska, a new, washed flower pot is quite suitable.
