About Pascha

Pascha is a rich and creamy dessert traditionally served during Easter in Eastern European cuisines, particularly Russian and Ukrainian. Made primarily from farmer’s cheese (quark), butter, eggs, sugar, and cream, it is often flavored with vanilla, citrus zest, dried fruits, and nuts. Molded into a pyramid or dome shape, Pascha is a symbolic dish tied to celebration and renewal. Nutritionally, it provides a source of protein and calcium from the cheese, along with energy from the sugar and fats. However, its high fat and sugar content means it should be enjoyed in moderation. Variations with honey or natural sweeteners may offer a slightly healthier option. Pascha is deeply rooted in tradition, making it not only a treat but also a cultural experience.
