Easter from Mascarpone

6 servings

40 minutes

Mascarpone Easter is an exquisite dessert that will adorn the festive table. The roots of this dish trace back to Russian cuisine, where cottage cheese Easter symbolizes Bright Resurrection. The mascarpone variant gives it a delicate creamy texture, complemented by richness and light sweetness. The addition of almonds and candied fruits brings subtle nutty notes and pleasant fruity freshness. This dessert requires no baking, and its preparation becomes a meditative process of combining soft cheese, airy cream, and aromatic vanilla sugar. After cooling, the Easter becomes dense and retains its rich flavor. It is perfect for concluding a festive dinner, especially when paired with a cup of fragrant tea.
