sweet dumplings
Filled pastry treats
Sweet dumplings are dessert dumplings filled or flavored with sweet ingredients—fruit, sweetened bean paste, chocolate, or sugar.
They appear across many cuisines: Chinese tangyuan filled with sesame paste, apple dumplings wrapped in pastry, or Eastern European fruit-filled varieties.
The dough may be steamed, boiled, fried, or baked: We had sweet dumplings with plum filling for dessert.
