Instructions
Step 1
Begin by gently melting the white chocolate using a double boiler. Make sure to stir it continuously until it is smooth and glossy.
Once melted, carefully pour the chocolate into a mold, ensuring you coat the walls evenly. Place the mold on a plate and transfer it to the freezer for 1 to 1.5 hours to set.
Step 2
In a saucepan, gently heat the cream and add the gelatin. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved, being cautious not to let the mixture boil.
In a separate bowl, combine the cottage cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and the warm cream mixture. Blend everything together using a mixer until you achieve a smooth consistency.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, sugar, and cornstarch. Heat the mixture gently, stirring frequently until it thickens.
Once thick, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly while you prepare the next step.
Step 4
Carefully remove the chocolate shell from the freezer and fill it with the prepared cheese mixture, leaving a little space at the top.
Add the blueberry filling on top of the cheese layer, distributing it evenly. Seal the pascha by adding more cheese mixture on top, smoothing it out.
Step 5
Return the filled mold to the freezer for about 3 to 4 hours, allowing everything to set completely.
Once set, remove the mold from the freezer and let it thaw in the refrigerator for about 2 hours before serving.
Step 6
When ready to serve, remove the pascha from the mold and garnish it with fresh fruits for an appealing presentation.
Enjoy your delightful Chocolate-Covered Easter Pascha with friends and family!
Servings

You'll need a pot to create a double boiler for melting chocolate. Make sure the bowl fits well above the simmering water without touching it directly.
Space in your freezer is vital for setting the chocolate coating and cheesecake. Plan ahead to ensure you have room for chilling.
Variations
If you're looking to adapt this wonderful recipe, here are some delightful variations:
**Gluten-Free Option**: Ensure all your ingredients, including your chocolate, are gluten-free to keep this dessert suitable for gluten-sensitive friends. For the crust, you can also use crushed gluten-free cookies or nuts. 🌾🚫
**Vegan Delight**: Substitute dairy ingredients with plant-based alternatives! Use vegan cream cheese and coconut cream instead of regular cream. For a sweeter flavor, add maple syrup to the filling for that extra touch of sweetness! 🌱💚
Faq
- What if I don't have a double boiler?
You can create a makeshift double boiler by placing a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water.
- Can I use another type of cheese instead of cottage cheese?
Yes! Cream cheese is a great substitute if you want a richer flavor, though it will change the texture slightly.
- Can I make this cheesecake in advance?
Absolutely! It can be made a day or two ahead of time; just remember to keep it in the fridge until you're ready to serve.
- How long does the cheesecake last in the fridge?
It will stay fresh for about 3-4 days in the refrigerator if stored correctly in an airtight container.
- What should I do if my chocolate isn't melting properly?
Ensure that you are using gentle heat, as overheating can cause chocolate to seize. If that happens, you can add a small splash of vegetable oil to loosen it up.
- Can I top it with whipped cream?
Certainly! A dollop of whipped cream adds a lovely creamy texture and pairs perfectly with the cheesecake.
