Pască in still cheesecake (Raisin New York cheesecake)
Ce este o pască? O prăjitură cu brânză pe care o facem cu ocazia sărbătorilor pascale. Foarte puțini oameni mai fac pasca tradițională cu aluat de cozonac și miez de brânză cu stafide. Între timp internetul s-a umplut de tot felul de rețete, una mai năstrușnică decât cealaltă: pască cu ciocolată sau vișine, pască fără…
Pretzel burger buns
