Topfenknodel

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. 🙂

Topfenpalatschinken – Crepes With Quark Filling

This is another classic Viennese dessert. Thinly baked crepes, filled with a Quark Cream filling and finished in the oven. It is important to use authenthic German Quark/Topfen. Some of the upscale markets and German deli’s in the US carry it but if you can’t find it, there is a fantastic recipe for home made Quark already posted. “Recipe #476124”, it’s easy and inexpensive to make and works perfect for this recipe.
