Pascha

I made a yummy Pascha -a cheese cake for Easter. Takes 10 minutes and is so rich, that you can't eat much in one go.

Here's the recipe:

500g of full fat white cheese ( I used Philadelphia full fat 300g cheese, but I waited when there was a special price -£1.00 for a box of 300g). You can cheat by using any other, cheaper full fat cheese.

50g of almonds (buy flakes as they are cheaper plus you save time on peeling almonds and chopping them up)- a pack of 150g costs 1.00
50g of raisins (I usually buy a packet of 500g and use 50g for the cake) -0.65
2 egg yolks - 6 eggs for 0.91
150g of  sugar  - 1kg for 0.98
100g of unsalted butter - special price £1.00 for 250g
2 spoonfuls of cream I use long life one)

Put yolks in the saucepan, add sugar and butter. Melt it on a very low gas. Make sure you stir the contents constantly. Don't allow eggs to go hard, just very hot. As soon as they are about to boil, switch the gas off. Add cheese, raisins and almonds. Mix everything thoroughly. Once it cools down, place it in the fridge.
