Ingredients : A Variation On The Theme Of Pashka Recipe
4 8 oz. pkgs cream cheese
1 cup butter, (2 sticks)
3 Egg yolks
2 cups Sifted powdered sugar
2 tsp Vanilla extract
1 cup Toasted, slivered almonds
2 pt fresh or frozen, (or 3)
Strawberries
Let cream cheese, butter and egg yolks stand at room temperature at least
2 hours. Beat cheese in a mixing bowl with a wooden spoon or blend at low
speed in electric mixer. Add butter and continue beating. When well
blended, add sugar, then egg yolks, one at a time. Add vanilla and fold
in almonds.
Wash and dry the inside of a Pashka mold or a new 2 quart clay or plastic
flowerpot with drain holes in the bottom. Line the pot with a double
thickness of cheesecloth wrung out in cold water. Spoon cheese mixture
into the pot to the brim. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate several
hours or overnight on a plate.
To unmold, trim around and discard top of the cheesecloth. Invert a
dessert plate over the opening of the flowerpot and quickly turn the whole
thing upside down. Place on table and gently lift off pot, tugging at the
cheesecloth lining if necessary. When the pot is clear, gently remove the
cheesecloth.
Garnish the base and top of the Pashka with whole strawberries and
strawberry halves. Serve with additional crushed, sweetened strawberries
as a sauce. You may add some brandy or liqueur to the sauce if you wish.
