Line the mold with a damp cheesecloth, then place the prepared cottage cheese mixture into it. Press down firmly and fold the ends of the cheesecloth over the top. Place the mold with the paskha on a plate to catch the draining liquid, and put a small weight on top. Refrigerate or keep in a cool place for at least 12 hours. Then remove the paskha, turn it out onto a serving dish, and decorate with candied fruits or sprinkles.
