Believe me, this is a very tasty Easter with a delicate, subtle caramel note. In addition, cooking Easter with condensed milk is very simple! You need to mix cottage cheese with melted butter, vanilla sugar, sour cream and boiled condensed milk. The resulting mass must be put into a mold and sent to the refrigerator overnight. You can decorate Easter with confectionery sprinkles, melted chocolate, candied fruits or dried fruits - it's up to your imagination.

This cake attracts not only with its amazing taste (delicate rich crumb and thin crispy crust), but also with its chic look. At the heart of "Kraffin" - yeast dough. The filling of the Easter cake includes nutmeg, dried cranberries and almond petals. You can also use candied fruits, dried fruits and nuts.
A layer of dough with filling is rolled up into a roll, then cut into two parts and rolled into a beautiful holiday cake like a snail. Decorate the finished cake with powdered sugar and serve on the festive table!

Despite the spectacular appearance of cutting, preparing it is very simple! You will need three types of meat products: salami sausage, boiled pork and chicken pastorma. Meat products should be thinly sliced and placed on a large plate in the form of a basket. Decorate the meat basket with fresh herbs and carrot and cucumber flowers.

These are the simplest chicken eggs for a snack that will undoubtedly decorate your holiday table. To prepare such eggs, you need to carefully cut the egg white in a zigzag pattern, select the yolk. Eggs are stuffed with yolks mashed with mayonnaise. We make chicken eyes from black peppercorns, and beaks from carrots. The finished appetizer can be decorated with fresh herbs and served on the table.

There are many options for decorating Easter eggs. We suggest dyeing white eggs with food coloring and creating patterns with duct tape.
On pre-cooked eggs, we paste various figures cut out of electrical tape. Then we dip the eggs into cups with diluted paint and hold for 2-3 minutes. Important: before you peel off the tape, the paint on the eggs must be completely dry. To add shine, eggs can be rubbed with vegetable oil. Spread the decorated eggs on beautiful dishes or in an edible basket, the recipe for which you will find here.

Wonderful, incredibly tasty puff salad. We spread fried onions and canned corn on the fried liver, grease with mayonnaise, on which we spread carrots and chicken proteins, again coat with mayonnaise. Sprinkle the salad with chicken yolk crumbs on top and decorate with carrots, protein and olives. Easter Chicken is ready!

A real festive dish that will become a spectacular decoration of the Easter table! The duck is generously rubbed with spices and stuffed with apples. Then we wrap the duck in the dough and send it to bake in the oven until cooked. You can serve such a duck on a dish of dough in which the duck was baked.

This is a very tasty, tender and fragrant dough braid twisted into a wreath. Such a wreath is "weaved" from three strands of dough with different fillings: poppy seeds, raisins and nuts. Before baking, grease the wreath with egg yolk and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Such an Easter "wreath" can be served as a dessert or put in the center of the festive table for Easter, laying several colored eggs in the center.
