The main Easter treat - cakes and krashanki. But there are other festive dishes that are worth preparing for Easter. For example, choux curd Easter with dried fruit. Gentle sweet curd with patches of dried berries, golden and dark raisins, sunny orange dried apricots and chocolate chips - an elegant and healthy dessert. Cooking choux curd Easter is easy - even in the absence of a pasochnitsy form, you can treat your family with this truly royal delicacy.

How to cook a scrambled curd Easter?
To choux curd beetle turned out, and turned out delicious, you need to choose only the freshest and quality products. Not a spread, but a good butter; not curd mass, but fresh home-made cottage cheese, which can be eaten raw - after all, it practically does not undergo heat treatment at Easter. Eggs must also be very fresh, as Easter is not baked, but simply brewed.
For the same reason - for maximum utility and goodness - I do not recommend adding candied fruits to the choux pastry. Yes, they are very beautiful, multicolored, and look so elegant - but the colorful colors of candied fruits are obviously not natural dyes. The best option is to make candied fruits yourself. From the peels of oranges and lemons it turns out a very tasty delicacy - the aroma and taste of candied fruit cannot be compared with the purchased ones.
But, if there is no time to cook them, take dried fruits instead of candied fruits. Amber dried apricots, dark ruby cranberries, golden and dark raisins look just as impressive! With dried fruit, choux curd Easter turns out elegant and tasty, and most importantly, all products are natural. And you can also add chocolate chips to the curd mass to add.
Rinse the dried fruits and steam them so that they soften. Boiling water should not be to save the vitamins, it is better to fill with warm boiled water. In 7-10 minutes we will catch, we dry, we will cut the dried apricots into pieces. Water is not poured, and ... drink! Raisin Vodichka good for the heart and tasty, as sweet uzvar.
Half chopped chocolates.
To make the curd Easter cake come out tender, the curd can be scrolled twice in a meat grinder or whipped with a blender, but the best is to rub it through a colander. The grated curd becomes remarkably airy, so the effort is worth it.
In a separate dish (one that can be set on fire), rub the butter with sugar, egg and sour cream. To grind the mass turned out homogeneous, it is more convenient to grind the softened butter with sugar, and then add the egg and sour cream.
We heat the pounded mass on a small fire, stirring. When it starts to boil, starting to boil, remove it from the stove, immediately pour it into the curd and mix it quickly and thoroughly.
Pour dried fruit and chocolate chips into curd mass.
Stir again.
If you do not have a special form for curd Easter, pasochnitsy, it is possible to cook a festive delicacy in the improvised dishes. A deep capacious cup, a bucket of mayonnaise or ice cream, even a baby bucket or flower pot (new ones, of course) will do. We fill the form with wet gauze (soaked in water and well wrung out) in a single layer, so that the sides of the form remain at the edges of the gauze.
We spread in the form of curd mass, tamping it more tightly.
Filling the form to the top, cover the curd with the edges of the gauze, and set the saucer on top.
Now you need to put the Easter cake under the press for 12 hours (at night). For example, put a container filled with water on top.
The next day, we get the easter from the refrigerator, remove the oppression, unfold the gauze and very carefully turn the Easter on the platter. It is convenient to cover the form with a plate, and then turn the whole structure over and carefully remove the form. Thanks to gauze, it can be removed easily. Then remove the gauze.
It remains the most creative moment - to arrange our beekeeping! For decoration, we use pieces of dried fruit, and if you want to be more colorful, you can chop the fruit marmalade into slices.
The more you put bright and tasty additives, the more effective the curd Easter in the cut will be.
