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. :-)

These Topfenknodel were a bit bland. I think I'll try adding some spices next time.

The dough was a bit too sticky for me, but the filling was delicious. I'll try again with a different dough recipe.

These Topfenknodel were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar.
