The Tsar paskha is incredibly creamy and delicate in taste thanks to the way it is prepared. It also has a fruity and sweet sour note. The Russian dessert is an eye-catcher on the Easter table with its unusual appearance. You can find a detailed Tsar paskha recipe with the exact quantities and step-by-step instructions below.
Tsar paskha especially creamy and tender
In contrast to the classic paskha, the Tsar paskha is prepared by heating the tvorog mixture in a hot water bath so that it almost comes to the boil. It is then cooled quickly over ice water. This method of preparation gives the Easter dessert a heavenly tender and creamy consistency.
Refine for different flavors
I stirred homemade blackcurrant puree with very little sugar into the tvorog mixture for the Tsar paskha. This makes it taste fruity and sweet sour. It also looks colorful.
You can use a puree made from any fruit for the Tsar paskha. Depending on how sweet it is, you may need to adjust the amount of sugar in the recipe. Fresh berries are also suitable.
You can also add dried fruits, such as raisins, apricots or cranberries, to the Easter dessert in the classic way. Candied fruits, caramel, nuts, grated coconut, poppy seeds and chocolate are just as suitable. By the way, have you tried the filled Easter pasha with caramel and nuts?
Paskha mold
Traditionally, the Russian Easter dessert is made in a collapsible mold called pasochnitsa. You can buy it online.
However, you can also set the paskha in a sieve lined with a cheese cloth. A clean flower pot with drainage holes is also suitable.
