Baked Ryazhenka Cream

Directions

1. 1

   Step 1

   

   Prepare a deep bowl, a colander, cheesecloth, and 2 baking dishes: 1 larger and 1 smaller.

2. 2

   Step 2

   

   Place the ryazhenka in the freezer for 10-12 hours. Line the colander with cheesecloth, place it in a deep bowl. Put the frozen ryazhenka in the colander and place it in the refrigerator for 1 day to thaw.

   TipDuring thawing, whey will drain from the ryazhenka, so the colander should not touch the bottom of the bowl.
