There are countless recipes for pashka, ranging from the simplest to the most complicated.

Authentic pashka is made with a special fresh white cheese that may be hard to find in some countries.

1. Beat the egg yolks and sugar until light and pale.
2. Add the butter and mix well.
3. Incorporate the fresh cheese and stir until smooth, then add the raisins and candied fruits.
4. Place the mixture into a large piece of cheesecloth; tie up the corners and let drain over the sink. To drain completely, it must sit at least overnight.
5. Shape into a dome or pyramid in a deep serving dish. Decorate with candied fruit and let rest for several hours before serving.
