Delicious Stuffed Kulich Recipe for Easter

Begin by vigorously whisking the eggs with sugar until the mixture is fluffy.

Next, melt the butter and allow it to cool slightly before adding it to the egg mixture.

Add cottage cheese, poppy seeds, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt to the mixture. Mix well.

If you wish for a beautiful color, you can also add a bit of turmeric.

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Gradually mix this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until well combined.

Pour the batter into prepared molds, filling them slightly over halfway. You can use molds that are approximately 11 cm in diameter.

Place the filled molds in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) and bake for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

In a saucepan, combine egg yolks, lemon juice, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon zest. Stir the mixture until well blended.

Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens.

Once thickened, remove from heat and add in butter, stirring until smooth. Allow the curd to cool down.

Once the kulichs are completely cool, create a small indentation in the center of each one.

Fill this space with the prepared lemon curd and place the top back on.

Finally, cover the top with a glaze and adorn it with additional lemon slices and poppy seeds for a beautiful presentation.
