Simple and fine – our Topfen dumplings

Today it’s time once again for a delicious recipe that’s not only easy to make but also incredibly tasty! And especially now, as it’s getting colder and colder outside and snowflakes are dancing from the sky, our quark dumplings bring a cozy warmth to both body and soul!

Fruit Dumplings with Cottage Cheese Dough

Ingredients:
250 g Topfen (quark)
1 whole egg
1 pinch of salt
150 g flour
1 tbsp semolina
1 tbsp softened butter
Salted water, your favorite fruit
For coating: 6 tbsp breadcrumbs, to taste: slivered almonds, cinnamon, hazelnuts—whatever you like—3 tbsp butter

This makes about 6 large fruit dumplings or 9 small curd dumplings.

  1. if the fruit is frozen, take it out of the freezer shortly before cooking
  2. Mix the Topfen, egg, salt, flour, semolina, and butter.
  3. Place in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or in the freezer for 15 minutes.
  4. Dust a wooden board or work surface with flour and transfer the dough from the bowl. Shape the dough into a thick roll and cut it into 1-cm-thick slices.
  5. Place a piece of fruit on each slice and then form dumplings from them.
  6. Bring salt water to a boil in a large pot and let the dumplings boil or simmer for 8-10 minutes.
  7. Meanwhile, toast the butter and breadcrumbs, vanilla sugar, almond flakes, cinnamon, and grated hazelnuts in a pan and roll the dumplings in them.

And there you have it—our quark dumplings with our favorite fruit! I also like to make quark dumplings without fruit and serve them with fruit puree or some good strawberry jam, topped with a scoop of ice cream—it tastes delicious.
