sweet dumpling

Sugared filled dough

Sweet dumpling refers to a small winter squash with cream-colored skin marked by dark green stripes and sweet, orange flesh.

Individual fruits are typically single-serving size: I roasted a sweet dumpling for dinner.

The term also applies broadly to any dumpling with sweet filling—fruit, sweetened cheese, or chocolate—served as dessert rather than a savory dish.
