Cseresznyes Gomboc (Cherry Dumplings)

Cseresznyes Gomboc (Cherry Dumplings) recipe

Cseresznyes Gomboc (aka Cherry Dumplings) are a Hungarian traditional dessert dumplings that is a mix between potato gnocchi and a sweet version of English steamed dumplings (you know the ones that are usually eaten with stews).

As like gnocchi these dumplings are cooked in boiling salted water and are the same texture – fluffy and light.

Occasionally made with plums the traditional recipe calls for cherries (hence the ‘Cseresznyes’ which means cherry in Hungary).

Such a unique treat, think cinnamon doughnut outside and sweet gnocci filling.

Cseresznyes Gomboc (Cherry Dumplings) recipe

Ingredients:

Dumpling:

  • 500g sebago potatoes
  • 150g butter, softened
  • 1 tsn salt

  8. Place dumpling on a floured tray and repeat with remaining dough until all dumplings are done.
  9. Cook the dumplings in 3 lots, dropping 1/3rd into a saucepan of boiling salted water and cook for 4 minutes or until they rise to the surface.
  10. Using a slotted spoon remove the dumplings from the water and place on a large tray. Repeat 2 more times with remaining dumplings.
  11. Place the sugar and cinnamon into a bowl, stir to combine.
  12. Place the remaining 110g of butter in a large non-stick frying pan on a medium heat.
  13. Cook the dumplings in the butter for 3 minutes or until slightly golden.
  14. Add the breadcrumbs to the pan and cook for 2 minutes or until golden, moving the dumplings around in the pan with a spoon as well as shaking the pan.
  15. One by one place a dumpling into the sugar mix, shaking the bowl to completely cover the dumplings.
  16. Whisk the cream and icing sugar until combined.
  17. Serve dumplings on a platter with a side of the cream, enjoy.
