NOODLE KUGEL

December 26, 2022

This year we celebrated the 8th night of Hanukkah on Christmas Day, so we decided to make everyone's favorite festive dessert- NOODLE KUGEL! This traditional jewish one bowl recipe is easy to make and absolutely delicious. Topped with cherries, served warm or cold, maple syrup or not, noodle pudding is always a favorite.

Ingredients

16 oz cottage cheese

8 oz cream cheese

1 cup granulated sugar

5 eggs

1 tablespoon vanilla

10 oz extra fine egg noodles

2 cups milk

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

cinnamon for sprinkling

2 cans cherry pie filling

Directions

Boil noodles according to the package and allow to cool
Combine all ingredients in one large bowl. I like to start with the cream cheese to make sure its soft and spreads through, add cottage cheese, sugar, eggs, vanilla, milk, butter and cooked noodles.
Pour your mixture in a large baking dish
Top with cinnamon
Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour
Top with canned cherries
