Vegan dessert with simple ingredients
We know Mirabelle dumplings from our times before becoming vegan and are now all the happier that we can also enjoy them in a vegan version.
Sweet dumplings are great if you spended a day outside and make it cozy for you later on. For those kind of days also nougat dumplings are great to share with family and friends.
Dumplings are very popular with us, especially in the colder months of the year, and are therefore often served.
It is all the more important that we have a little variety. We have already put a very good selection of different dumpling recipes on the blog for you. Bread dumplings are very popular with Madeleine in the family.
But you will also find the potato dumplings half and half or with completely smooth dumpling dough in this recipe post.
We make our version for vegan mirabelle dumplings with vegan quark. You and especially critics will not taste the difference!
How to prepare vegan Mirabelle dumplings:
You mix together a smooth batter from simple ingredients. The basis here is a vegetable quark.
Leave the finished dough to rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Now you can bring the water to the boil. For this you should use a large enough pot and enough water so that the dumplings can swim well in it.
In the meantime, you can wash and pit the mirabelle plums. Divide the dough between the 25 mirabelle plums and flatten each one a little. Then put an mirabelle and some sugar in the middle.
If your apricots are very ripe and sweet, you can do without more sugar in the filling, otherwise we recommend adding some cinnamon together with some sugar for the perfect taste of the filling.
Now shape the dumplings well into round dumplings and make sure that the mirabelles are no longer visible.
Then you can gradually add them to the no longer bubbling (!) water.
When the dumplings are done they will rise and float on the surface. Now you can simply take them out with a skimmer or pour them off.
The finish for the delicious dumplings is the mixture of breadcrumbs, ground almonds and sugar. These are roasted together in a pan and the dumplings are tossed in it just before serving.
Of course you can also leave out this crust and serve a sauce with your vegan Mirabelle dumplings. But we like them best like this!
