Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (8 ounce) package broad egg noodles
2 tablespoons butter
3 eggs, separated
1 cup white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 apples - peeled, cored and chopped

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.

EXCITING NOODLE KUGEL



Exciting Noodle Kugel image

This savory kugel, a Jewish baked noodle pudding, comes from a 1950 spiral-bound cookbook that was compiled by the women of a synagogue in suburban Larchmont, N.Y. They called it Exciting Baked Noodles, and it included what were then considered secret ingredients: Worcestershire and Tabasco sauce. To update it, use high-quality pappardelle egg noodles, which add richness. A sprinkling of chives brings flecks of color to the finished casserole.

CRUNCHY NOODLE KUGEL à LA GREAT-AUNT MARTHA



Crunchy Noodle Kugel à la Great-Aunt Martha image

The genius of this sweet noodle kugel - the rich, custardy casserole that is a staple of Jewish cooking - is that its top is designed to offer maximum crunch while its interior remains creamy and luscious. The secret: use a jellyroll pan, which means that there is a greater amount of kugel surface area to brown in the oven, and bake it at a slightly higher temperature. Soaking the raisins in sherry or orange juice adds flavor, and also keeps them from burning in the extra-hot oven.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, lunch, casseroles, noodles, main course, side dish

Time 1h

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup raisins
Sherry or orange juice
1 pound egg noodles
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces, more for pan
4 large eggs
3 cups cottage cheese
1 cup sour cream
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Grated zest of 1 lemon
Pinch of salt

Steps:

  • Put raisins in a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan and cover with sherry or orange juice. Heat on stove top or in microwave oven until liquid is steaming hot (about 1 1/2 minutes in microwave or 3 minutes on stove). Let cool while you prepare kugel mixture.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter an 11-by-17-inch jellyroll pan. Cook noodles according to package directions and drain well. Immediately return noodles to pot and add butter. Toss until butter melts.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, sour cream, sugar, cinnamon, lemon zest and salt. Drain raisins and add to bowl along with buttered noodles. Mix well.
  • Spread mixture in prepared pan and smooth top. Bake until top is crusty and golden, 25 to 35 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

  • Bake the pudding until it is golden brown. This will ensure that it is cooked through.
  • Let the pudding cool slightly before serving. This will allow it to set and firm up.
  • Serve the pudding with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include sour cream, applesauce, and cinnamon sugar.
