This one started as a “what do I do with extra farmer cheese?” moment and somehow turned into the most comforting, cheesecake-meets-pierogi dessert. My husband took one bite and said, “Wait… this is like cheesecake but without the guilt.” And honestly? He’s right.
Warm, cinnamon-dusted dough wrapped around a sweet, creamy filling — it’s simple, homey, and the perfect 6-point treat when you’ve got a few points left at the end of the night.

👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Make the Dough
Prepare half a batch of two-ingredient dough.
Add vanilla and knead until smooth.
Divide into 4 equal balls.
2️⃣ Roll Out the Discs
Flatten each portion into a small circle.
Sprinkle each disc with:
- ~⅛ tsp sugar
- A tiny pinch of cinnamon sugar
3️⃣ Mix the Filling
Stir farmer cheese, sugar, and a small amount of egg yolk together.
Divide into 4 spoonfuls.
4️⃣ Fill & Shape
Place the filling in the center of each dough disc.
Fold the dough up around the filling and roll gently to close.
5️⃣ Bake
Dust the tops with a little cinnamon sugar.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35 minutes, or until golden.
6️⃣ Cool & Enjoy
Let them cool slightly — the filling sets and becomes creamy like a mini cheesecake.
