Directions

If you wish, you can prepare the same paska without gelatin, but you will definitely need a special mold for paska. Do everything according to the recipe, but do not add gelatin diluted in water.
Transfer the mass into a mold, set it in a bowl to drain excess moisture, and put it in the refrigerator for a day. Paska will be denser as a result, because the whey, not bound by gelatin, will flow.
I use:
– cream 10%;
– ricotta (or ricotta (ital. ricotta) is an Italian cheese made from whey (and not from milk, like traditional cheeses), which remains after cooking mozzarella or other cheeses) from 9% and more fat;
– cheese from 3-5% and fatter.
All ingredients should be at room temperature!
If your dried fruit is hard, soak it for 3-5 hours in cold water or 15 minutes in hot water before use.

3. Add to the cheese part, mix until smooth, add washed and finely chopped dried fruits and mix again.
4. Cover the mold for paska or a deep bowl with gauze folded in several layers (if you use a mold without a bottom, place it in a bowl).
5. Fold the curd mass inside, close the edges with gauze and put it in the refrigerator for 8-10 hours.
6. Carefully pull the paska out of the bowl and transfer it to a plate.

Preparing the glaze

1. Finely chop the chocolate, add half of the milk, heat it in a microwave oven (or in a water bath). Do not bring to a boil, heat in pulses for 10-15 seconds. Stir, if necessary, add a little milk - the consistency of thick kefir should be obtained.
2. With a spoon, spread the mass on the surface of the cheese paska, push it a little where you want to get a chocolate flow.
3. Decorate as desired.
4. The finished paska can be stored in a container in the refrigerator, the shelf life is 72 hours.
