Best Ukrainian Easter Cheese Recipes
UKRAINIAN EASTER CHEESE (PASKA)
This unbaked cheese Paska was one of my mother Sofia's traditional Ukrainian Easter recipes. She passed away in 1995 so I have been making it ever since. It is easy to make, very rich, and a hit every time. Decorate with the fruits of your choice.

Steps:
- Combine farmer cheese, cream cheese, butter, and egg yolks in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment; mix on low speed to combine. Add sugar, vanilla extract, lemon juice, lemon zest, and orange zest; mix until Paska mixture is smooth.
- Line a sieve with dampened cheesecloth, leaving an overhang on all sides. Place over a plate that will catch any additional liquid that drains out.
- Spoon Paska mixture into cheesecloth. Fold the ends of the cheesecloth over the mixture. Cover with a plate and set a heavy weight on top.
- Chill until Paska is firm, overnight to 24 hours.
- Remove weighted plate and unfold cheesecloth ends. Use cheesecloth ends to lift Paska out. Invert onto a plate and peel away cheesecloth.

UKRAINIAN EASTER CHEESE
Steps:
- Place container with milk in sink filled with hot water. Warm milk until lukewarm, add buttermilk and mix. Crush tablet and dissolve in spoon of warm water. Mix into milk mixture. Keep container in warm water. When milk sets, take a wooden spoon and cut through milk twice each way. Let stand until curds separate from the whey. Then drain in a cloth bag or strainer lined with cheesecloth. Place in a container and leave at room temperature overnight. In the morning, take out of bag and place in a bowl in the fridge. It can be left out longer for a more sour boodz. I don't know if they make rennet tablets anymore, but it does come in liquid form and I hear you can use pasteurized milk.
