Ingredients

Scale

For the vanilla sauce

  • 2 cups (500ml) milk
  • 2–3 tbsp. sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 vanilla bean pod
  • 1 1/2 tbsp. cornstarch
  • 1 egg yolk

For the mulled wine plums

  • 1 1/4 cups (300ml) mulled wine
  • 2 tbsp. sugar
  • pinch of cinnamon
  • 5–6 plums

For the dumplings

  • 4 bread rolls (from the day before)
  • 7 oz. (200g) fruit loaf (Christstollen)
  • 2/3 cup (160ml) milk
  • 2 tsp. zest of organic orange
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup (60g) sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Start with the vanilla sauce by taking about 1/4 cup (60ml) of the milk to the side for later. Add the milk together with the sugar and salt to a saucepan. Slit the vanilla bean pod lengthwise and remove the seeds. Add both to the milk and warm up. Let the vanilla soak in the warm milk for about 10 minutes – the milk should be warm, not hot or boiling. Mix the milk you kept on the side with the cornstarch and egg yolk. Heat up the milk until it starts boiling, remove the vanilla bean pod, then add the cornstarch mixture while stirring constantly until the sauce starts to thicken and bubble. Remove from the heat and let cool down while stirring from time to time to prevent the sauce getting a skin.
  2. Add the mulled wine, sugar and cinnamon to a pot and bring to a boil – let reduce to about half of the amount. In the meantime wash, stone and cut the plums into slices. Add to the pot and let cook until soft (but not mushy) and the mulled wine is reduced to a thick sauce. Take off the heat and let cool down.
  3. Dice the bread rolls finely, do as well with the fruit loaf (christstollen) and add to a bowl. Warm the milk a bit, add the orange zest and mix with the eggs until well combined. Pour over the bread/stollen and mix. Let soak for about 15 minutes.
  4. Bring water in a large pot to a boil and then reduce the heat. Form six dumplings out of the bread/stollen mixture, add to the pot and let cook on low temperature for about 15-20 minutes. While the dumplings are in the water, mix the sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Take the dumplings out of the water, let drain and then roll in the sugar mixture. Serve with the vanilla sauce and mulled wine plums.
