pashka

/ ˈpæʃkə /

noun

a rich Russian dessert made of cottage cheese, cream, almonds, currants, etc, set in a special wooden mould and traditionally eaten at Easter

Before any other food was served, small pieces of consecrated pashka and an Easter cake called kulich were passed around.

I waked Pashka for fear he should fall out and began cautiously going down.

Pashka looked over my shoulder at the belfry and gave a yawn.
