Handed down through the years from my German grandmother, this cherished family tradition has stood the test of time.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the dumplings and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.
Return the dumplings to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to coat evenly.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Variations & Tips
For a different flavor profile, try adding a pinch of nutmeg to the cream sauce or swapping out the mozzarella for a smoked cheese like gouda. If you’d like a little heat, a dash of red pepper flakes in the sauce can add a nice kick. You can also incorporate finely chopped spinach into the dumpling mixture for an extra boost of greens. For those avoiding dairy, substitute the cheese with a dairy-free option and use coconut cream instead of heavy cream.
