Ingredients

Chicken eggs - 3 pcs.
Butter - 100 g
Cream 33% or 38% - 150 g
Sugar - 80 g
Vanilla to taste
Coconut Chips - 40 g
Almonds - 30 g
Dried Cranberries 30 g

Step cooking

First you need to squeeze out the excess moisture from the cottage cheese. We take 500 grams of cottage cheese, put it in cheesecloth, folded in two layers, form a bag and carefully wring out all the moisture first with your hands and then with kitchen paper napkins. This is done so that the mass for Easter is not too thin and takes the desired shape.
Next, take a saucepan, put on top a kitchen sieve and pour the prepared cottage cheese into it.
Using a pusher or a spoon, wipe the cottage cheese through a sieve.
In a pan with grated curd, put 100 grams of butter, break 3 chicken eggs, add vanilla to taste and pour 150 grams of 38% cream. It is better that the oil is a little melted. We turn on the gas or electric stove, put a saucepan with ingredients on it, start stirring with a whisk until the first seconds of boiling over medium heat and immediately turn off the fire. Set the finished mass aside to cool to room temperature.
In the meantime, move on to the preparation of the filling. We take 30 grams of almonds and pour it with boiling water for 30 minutes so that the skin becomes softer. Then peel the almonds from the skin and with a knife finely chop on a cutting board.
Pour the chopped almonds into the pan, add 40 grams of coconut, 30 grams of dried cranberries, 80 grams of sugar and mix thoroughly with a kitchen spoon.
We take a small plate, put several kitchen paper towels on it, put the Easter mold in which we put gauze in one layer, and carefully pour the curd mass.
We put any oppression on top. It can be either a small kettlebell or a container with water.
We put the mass in the refrigerator for a day. During this time, you can change kitchen paper towels so that excess moisture drains faster. After a day, we remove the oppression, cheesecloth, and take out the Easter from the mold. Easter is ready, you can serve.

Enjoy your meal!
