Delicious Easter dessert
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Tvorozhnaya Paskha is made in advance, the day before the great Christian holiday. Be sure to chill it in the refrigerator for at least a couple of hours so the butter solidifies and the dessert holds its shape. You can add any flavorings to taste: vanilla, citrus, etc. The ready dessert can be served at the table.

Place sour cream and cottage cheese of any fat content into a deep container. Add the pitted dried fruits, except prunes. If they are large, such as apricots or dates, chop them into small cubes and add them together with raisins. Optionally, you can soak the dried fruits in boiling water for 10 minutes, but no longer, so they don't become too soft.
