Topfenknodel image

This was definitely the best dessert offering my friends and I had at the Kafe Sacher in Wien. Forget Sacher Torte (imo way too dry), try these instead. I have not provided a fruit compote - use one of your liking (at the Kafe Sacher they were served with an apricot sauce). This particular recipe was found at the GlobalGourmet and adjusted to include the toasted breadcrumbs. Note: In Austria, topfen (quark) would be used instead of cottage cheese. If you have it, use it. :-)

Overall, I thought this recipe was pretty good. The dumplings were easy to make and they turned out pretty well. I would definitely make them again, but I might try a different filling next time.

These dumplings were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with a less sweet filling.

I had a bit of trouble getting the dumplings to hold together. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

These dumplings were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with a more flavorful filling.

These dumplings were a bit more work than I expected, but they were definitely worth it. They were so delicious and flavorful. I especially loved the crispy outer layer.

I'm not usually a big fan of dumplings, but these Topfenknodel were amazing! They were so light and fluffy, and the flavor was incredible. I will definitely be making these again soon.

I was so excited to try this recipe, and it did not disappoint! The dumplings were so easy to make, and they turned out perfectly. I served them with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh herbs, and they were absolutely divine.
