~----------------- NOTE: THIS IS A SPECIAL CAKE REQUIRING A NEW
LARGE FLOWER POT 7 X 7-INCHES AT A MINIMUM. Press the cheese through
a sieve. Combine the cheese with the egg yolks, beating in 1 yolk at
a time. Add the sugar and blend well. Heat the cream in a large
saucepan until it almost boils, then add the cheese mixture and cook
over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens.
Remove from the heat before it begins to boil. Stir in the fruits,
almonds, and lemon rind. Cool. Cream together the butter and the
vanilla, then stir into the cooled cheese mixture. Line the flower
pot with several layers of moistened cheesecloth, leaving enough
cloth at the top to form a flap that will cover the pot. Fill the pot
with the cheese mixture and cover with the flap. Put a weight on the
top and place in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. The whey (liquid)
will drip out the bottom of the pot, so be sure to place a pan under
it. When drained, carefully unmold the cake with a knife. Remove the
cheesecloth and smooth the sides with a hot knife. Prepare the
sauce. Beat together the egg yolks, sugar, Madeira, and lemon rind in
the top of a double boiler. Cook and continue beating until the
mixture thickens. Stir in the lemon juice and the rum, then chill
briefly.
Pour the sauce over the cheesecake and serve. NOTE: This very unusual
cheesecake is a traditional Russian Easter dish. In the old days, the
custom was to decorate it with paper flowers or religious emblems and
have the priest come by and bless it. Back then, it was made in a
special pyramid-shaped form, but you can make it in an ordinary red
clay flower pot.
Visually, the effect is quite striking, and the drainage hole allows
the excess whey to escape. To make paskha, you will need a large
flower pot and some cheesecloth. The paskha will keep in the
refrigerator for several weeks, but be sure to make it at least three
days in advance.
