with tropical fruit salad

Knead the quark, flour, oil, egg, and a pinch of salt. The dough should be easy to shape. If it’s too soft, add a little more flour. Let the dough rest for about 10 minutes. In the meantime, peel the mango and pineapple and chop the fruit. Bring a large pot of water, a pinch of salt, and a little cinnamon (if desired), to a boil. Shape the dough into about 6 small dumplings and add them to the boiling water. Simmer gently for about 10 minutes. Mix the chopped fruit together and arrange on plates. Arrange the dumplings on top and sprinkle with desiccated coconut. Of course, any fruit can be used instead of nectarines, pineapple, or mango. The sweetness of the fruit means no sugar is needed, but you can sweeten the mixture with powdered sugar.
