Cottage cheese kulichs are a delicate and aromatic treat that will adorn the festive table. Their history is closely tied to Russian Easter traditions, where kulichs symbolize prosperity and grace. The uniqueness of this version lies in the addition of cottage cheese, making the baked goods especially soft and juicy. The sweetish taste with a slight acidity of the cottage cheese pairs wonderfully with the glaze, creating a harmony of flavors. Kulichs are decorated with colorful glaze, making them not only tasty but also festive. They can be served for morning tea or at a festive feast, complemented by natural berries or nuts.
