REBECCA'S SWEET LOKSHEN (NOODLE) KUGEL



Rebecca's Sweet Lokshen (Noodle) Kugel image

My hubby says this is the best kugel ever--high praise as he normally won't touch kugel. Lovely!:) Enjoy!! Update: I've sort of doubled this recipe (used a 4.8 qt. or #234 Pyrex pan (15 x 10 x 3 inches), still used same # of eggs, noodles, sugar, raisins, and cottage cheese but dbld. the cream cheese and vanilla; as a variation replaced the applesauce with sour cream plus I threw in about 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese. Great!! By the way the topping is optional and then no need to cover pan while baking just check often to make sure top does not burn. To serve cut the kugel into small squares and enjoy either warm, cold or at room temperature. Note: The nutmeg and cinnamon are to taste (I use half a pinch of nutmeg and/or about one teaspoon of cinnamon).

Time 1h45m

Yield 12-24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (12 ounce) package egg noodles (such as Maneschewitz)
6 eggs, beaten
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups sugar
3 tablespoons sour cream
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
1 1/2 lbs cottage cheese
16 ounces applesauce (I use cinnamon flavored)
nutmeg
cinnamon
1 cup golden raisin
1/2 cup melted butter (1 stick)
2 -3 cups frosted flakes, crushed (or corn flakes, enough to cover kugel)
2 -3 tablespoons melted butter

Steps:

  • Cook noodles in a large pot of boiling water, according to package directions. Rinse the noodles with cold water and let drain in a colander.
  • Beat the eggs in a large mixing bowl. Add the vanilla, sugar, sour cream, softened cream cheese, cottage cheese, and applesauce and beat with an electric mixer until combined.
  • Use a wooden spoon to stir in the drained noodles, nutmeg, cinnamon, raisins, and melted butter, mixing well to coat.
  • Using a rubber spatula, spread mixture evenly into a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. I transfer the kugel to a foil-lined baking sheet to catch any overflow.
  • Make the topping: in a medium bowl, combine the crushed frosted flakes (or cornflakes) with enough melted butter to moisten. Add a little cinnamon if you like.
  • Spread evenly over the top of the kugel.
  • Cover with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated 350F degree oven for one hour.
  • Uncover and bake an additional 30 minutes, checking frequently to make sure top does not burn (cover if top is getting too crispy, and bake until done).
  • Let kugel cool slightly before cutting into squares to serve. Makes 12-24 servings (depending on size of squares). May be eaten warm, cold, or at room temperature.Enjoy!

RICH AND FRUITY LOKSHEN KUGEL



Rich and Fruity Lokshen Kugel image

"Sweet Noodle Pudding" recipe that was given to me by a dear friend who is now passed on and deeply missed. For best results, do NOT use non-fat sour cream or non-fat cream cheese in this recipe.

Provided by Alan in SW Florida

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
8 ounces medium egg noodles (2/3 of a 12 ounce package)
1 (16 ounce) can pitted sweet dark cherries in heavy syrup
1 (10 ounce) can mandarin oranges in light syrup
1 cup sour cream (8 ounce container)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened and cut into small pieces
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 large eggs or 1 cup egg substitute
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple in juice

Steps:

  • For the topping: Put the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, and mix them well. Set the topping mixture aside.
  • For the kugel: Cook the egg noodles in a 5-quart or similar pot following the package directions. While the noodles are cooking, drain cherries and mandarin oranges in a colander, and rinse them slightly with cool water. When the noodles are done cooking, drain them well, and return them to the pot off the heat. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Coat a 9"x13" baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or grease it well.
  • In a food processor(fitted with a steel blade) or a blender, combine the sour cream, cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and eggs. Process until the mixture is completely smooth, about 1 minute or longer, scraping down the sides of the container once or twice. Pour the mixture over the noodles, then stir the noodles gently with a large spoon so that the cream cheese mixture is evenly distributed. Add the drained cherries and mandarin oranges, along with the pineapple, and gently stir so that the fruit is evenly distributed.
  • Transfer the noodle mixture to the prepared baking dish. Smooth the top, pushing down any cherries that have floated to the top. Sprinkle all of the reserved cinnamon-sugar topping over the top of the kugel.
  • Bake the uncovered kugel at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until set. Let it rest for at least 10 to 15 minutes before cutting it. Serve warm or at room temperature, cut into squares.
  • Notes: If the kugel is made ahead, let it cool to room temperature. Then cover the top tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate or freeze the kugel. Defrost it, covered, in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. Shortly before serving the kugel, reheat it, covered, in a microwave oven or a 350 degree oven until warmed through.
  • Also, try to use the mandarin oranges canned in syrup. They hold their shape better than those canned in juice. For this recipe, all the syrup is drained off. And again, don't use non-fat sour cream or cream cheese.

SWEET LOKSHEN KUGEL

Steffi has been a friend of our family for over 40 years, and this kugel recipe has been in her family as long as she can remember. Ever since I was a child, we would have this amazing noodle kugel on the Jewish high holidays or at random Sunday brunches. People love this kugel so much that she was encouraged to enter it in the 2012 New York State Fair and it won the Blue Ribbon in the Favorite Ethnic Dish category! Leftovers can be frozen.

Lokshin Kugel (Noodle Pudding) image

This is a side dish commonly served with roasted chicken for Friday night (Shabbat) dinner. It doesn't have to accompany chicken only, but, as my mother once told us, when she was a child, chicken and noodles were more affordable than other foods. This is a great accompaniment to any meat.
