Instructions
- 1 Combine farmer's cheese, cream cheese, butter, and egg yolks in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment; mix on low speed to combine. Add sugar, vanilla extract, lemon juice, lemon zest, and orange zest; mix until smooth.
- 2 Line a sieve with dampened cheesecloth, leaving an overhang on all sides. Place over a plate that will catch any additional liquid that drains out. Spoon paska mixture into the cheesecloth. Fold the ends of the cheesecloth over the mixture. Cover with a plate and set a heavy weight on top. Chill until firm, 8 to 24 hours.
- 3 Remove the weighted plate and unfold the cheesecloth ends. Use the cheesecloth ends to lift the paska out. Invert onto a plate and peel away the cheesecloth.
