Dairy-Free Túrós Gombóc (Sweet Cheese Dumplings)
A dairy-free take on the classic Hungarian sweet cheese dumplings, using a clever blend of plant-based ingredients to mimic the creamy texture of túró (curd cheese). Served with toasted breadcrumbs and a touch of sweetener.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Firm Tofu (pressed)
- 1/2 cup Cashews (soaked in hot water for 30 min)

- 2 tbsp Sugar or Sweetener
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 tsp Salt
