Spread to go with paska (Easter bread)

[Anonymous]

I'm making Paska (the Ukrainian Easter bread) for brunch on Sunday. I'd like to make some kind of interesting spread to go with it, but none of the traditional (Ukrainian) ones look good. I'm thinking something fruity/sweet or maybe chocolatey or creamy? (Not a cheese spread.)

Anyone have any inspiration for me?

Not sure if this will help you, but maybe. We eat our paska traditionally, just with butter - however - I make the leftovers into French Toast on Easter Monday, and whatever the Easter dessert frosting was - I smear that on top of the French toast. I’ve used cannoli filling when I’ve made a cannoli cake, lemon cream cheese frosting when that’s what I’ve had. Etc.

Make a whipped cinnamon butter.

Love this! We are a big enough group (and a carby enough group!) that I can't imagine we'll have much or any left over. But what a fun tradition!

And thank you to the other poster too--a whipped cinnamon butter sounds great too! I was leaning toward lemon curd, but now you've got me thinking cinnamon.
