Cottage Cheese Was Always Cool: Hungarian Sweet Cheese Dumplings (Túrógombóc) | Joseph Erdos

Описание: Dumpling desserts are among the most popular in Hungary. These are the kinds of sweets that every mom and grandma knows how to make. And one of my favorite dumpling desserts is made with cottage cheese, what's called túró in Hungarian. These sweet balls of cottage cheese are more airy with the addition of cream of wheat and whipped egg whites. They're like the fluffier cousin of cheesecake!

Whenever my mom made these, she always served them with jam, which isn't actualy that typical. But I absolutely loved eating them with apricot jam, which has a special place in my heart because my grandma Annuska was famous for her apricot jam, and so was my mom's best friend Eva, who lived in Budapest. Here I present to you my version of apricot jam, which was inspired by a jam lady whom I met at the Central Market Hall in Budapest. It's flavored with lavender and honey.

Now, let me leave you with some food for thought: Is the jam a vehicle for the sweet cheese dumplings, or are the dumplings a vehicle for the apricot jam?
