CHEF'S NOTES
Pasha is a traditional Easter dessert that arrived in Finland about the same time as the Orthodox religion. This is a culinary tradition that originated in ancient Karelia, between the White Sea and the Gulf of Finland, which was then part of Russia. Soft and delicious, it is served with white bread (nisu) in certain regions.
If you don't have a pasha mould, we suggest using a terra cotta flower pot with its saucer. The hole in the bottom of the pot is very important because it allows the mixture to drain.
