Ovocné knedlíky
(Svestkove knedliky, Švestkové knedlíky, Ovocné kynuté knedlíky, Plnene ovocne knedliky)
These sweet, fruit-filled Czech dumplings appear in numerous varieties throughout the country. They are made with either leavened or potato dough, or the combination of wheat flour and fresh quark cheese. The fillings, which are completely enclosed in the dumplings, might include various fruits, but the most common options are lightly sweetened apricots, strawberries, blueberries, or plums.
Knedlíky are shortly cooked in boiling water and usually served hot, doused in melted butter, and sprinkled with sugar and crumbled quark cheese. Although they are traditionally enjoyed as a dessert, ovocné knedlíky also make an excellent sweet snack.

"Of course, the very best fruit dumplings are those prepared by someone’s babička, or grandmother, but failing that, we like Café Savoy which comes closest in execution if not in old-timey ambience."

"Oh, the dumplings are something you must give a go. It was difficult for me to choose just one dessert from the dessert menu, which included many other tempting options, but I’m glad I had this one. So, so delish. The poppyseed ice cream was simply wonderful."
