My International Foods class is "going to Russia" next week. We've done a lot of main dishes and sides lately and I'd like to do a dessert.
Criteria is: cooked and done in 50 minutes and pretty cheap. (170 students to feed).
I can split over two days if some prep can be done ahead.
Any suggestions?

My favorite dessert to order at the old Russian Tea Room restaurant in NYC was called "Russian Creme." I just read the recipe that is in our database for it, and it sounds exactly like I remember it.
Russian Creme
Not sure how economical it would be though.
Perhaps something like
Russian Tea Cakes,
Russian Honey Spice Cake,
Kolobki (Russian Cottage Cheese Donuts), or a poppyseed cake might be more economical for you.

I thought the Russian tea cakes were a good candidate - doable in yhour time frame and nothing too exotic. A lot of the recipes were likely a bit exotic.
