Do Russians have quick and easy desserts they make?

I've noticed that Russians do not have as many desserts as American or German cuisine. They are not as sweet either. My favorite Russian dessert is pashka, though. It is not super easy, more of an intermediate level.

1 lb/2 cups cream cheese

4 oz butter or margarine, softened

5 oz/4 cup caster (superfine) sugar

150 ml sour cream

6 oz/1 cup sultanas (golden raisins)

2 oz glace (candied) cherries

4 oz/1 cup almonds

2 oz chopped mixed (candied) peel

Mix together the cheese, butter or margarine, sugar and soured cream until well blended. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Spoon into a savarin mould, cover and chill overnight. Dip the mould in a pan of hot water for a few seconds, run a knife around the rim of the mould and invert the cheesecake on to a plate. Chill before serving.

or

3 egg yolks, slightly beaten

1 cup whipping cream

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/8 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

6 cups small-curd cream-style cottage cheese

1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened

1/2 cup chopped mixed candied fruit

1/4 cup finely chopped blanched almonds

cheesecloth

1. Mix egg yolks and whipping cream in heavy saucepan.

2. Stir in sugar and salt.

3. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture just coats a metal spoon, 12 to 15 minutes.

4. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla extract.

5. Place saucepan in cold water until custard is cool.

6. If custard curdles, beat with hand beater until smooth.

7. Place 3 cups of the cottage cheese and 2 tablespoons of the butter in blender container.

8. Cover and blend on medium speed, stopping blender occasionally to scrape sides, until smooth.

9. Repeat with remaining cottage cheese and butter.

10. Stir custard into cheese mixture until smooth.

11. Stir in candied fruit and almonds.

12. Line a 2-quart non-clay flower pot (or any form dish WITH OPENINGS IN THE BOTTOM, like a flower pot has) with double layer dampened cheesecloth.

13. Pour cheese mixture into pot; fold ends of cheesecloth over top. Place pot on cake rack in shallow pan; place weights on top.

14. Refrigerate 12 to 24 hours, pouring off any liquid that accumulates in pan.

15. To serve, unmold onto serving plate; remove cheesecloth.

16. Garnish as desired with additional candied fruit and blanched almonds.

17. Refrigerate any remaining dessert.

~ I like the second recipe more. But it is kind of a preference thing.

We are doing a project in school,and I wanted to be sure that we had an authentic dessert.

blinis

INGREDIENTS

2 eggs

1 tablespoon white sugar

1/3 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 1/2 cups milk

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 tablespoon butter

DIRECTIONS

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and salt. Sift the flour into the bowl, and stir in along with the milk. Mix until smooth and well blended. The batter should be thin.

Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Lightly oil the pan or spray with cooking spray. Pour about 2 tablespoons of the batter, or as much as desired, into the pan. Tilt the pan to spread the batter out evenly. When the edges are crisp looking and the center appears dry, slide a spatula carefully under the blin. Flip, and cook for about 1 minute on the other side, or until lightly browned.

Remove blini to a plate. Put a little butter on top, and continue to stack the blini on top of each other. To serve, spread with desired filling, then fold in half, and in half again to form a triangle. Mmm Mmm!

There are lots of Russian desserts, check this website. They all look delicious!
