Paska Bread with Sour Cream
Paska bread with sour cream is a dessert that is very easy to prepare. It is a popular traditional Easter dessert, but it can be enjoyed at any time of the year. It works great when you want a simple, but creamy and aromatic dessert.
It is similar to a cheesecake but it’s made with sour cream rather than cheese. It also has a delicious pie-like crust with a very creamy filling which makes it irresistible! I invite you to try it.
