Gourmet Noodle Kugel (Base Recipe & Exotic Add Ins) image

Here is a lower-fat kugel recipe that takes this rather boring traditional dish to an entirely new level (and into the new millennium!) I've been told they have a cheesecake-esque quality to them. Don't snub the Chocolate ones they are a hit every time! Let go of Jewish guilt & Be creative... think outside the Kugel box!!

Time 1h15m

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 (12 ounce) package x-wide noodles (cooked al dente)
1 (8 ounce) package light cream cheese
1 (8 ounce) container nonfat vanilla yogurt or 1 (8 ounce) container fat free sour cream
3 eggs (or equiv. egg substitute)
1 cup sugar (or equiv substitute)
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
2 tablespoons flour
2 teaspoons coconut flavoring
1 (16 ounce) can tropical mixed fruit cocktail (drained)
1 (16 ounce) can pineapple, drained (tidbits or crushed)
1 (16 ounce) can drained mangoes, cut in pieces
top with shredded coconut (optional)
1 cup mini chocolate chip
for chocolate raspberry add 4-6 oz rasberry syrup
for chocolate almond add 2 tsp almond extract
2 -3 apples, cored peeled and sliced
2 teaspoons apple pie spice
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup golden raisin
1 (16 ounce) can drained pineapple (chunks or tidbits)
1 cup spiced rum, I like to soak the noodles in Rum an hour or 2 tablespoons coconut flavoring
top with shredded coconut (optional)
1 cup amaretto liqueur, soak the noodles in Amaretto an hour or 1 cup top with sliced almonds

Steps:

  • Blend all base recipe ingredients till smooth then fold in noodles and your 'exotic' variations!
  • Pour into 9"x13" pan sprayed with Pam.
  • Bake at 375F for about 1 hour till golden and firm. The ones containing more liquid (Pina Kugelada or Amoretto di Kugelano) require an additional 10-15 minutes.
  • Allow to set for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  • Serve at either room temp or lightly chilled.
