Ingredients

• KUGEL:
• 16-ounces medium noodles, cooked, about 2 cups cooked noodles
• 1 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 (16-ounce) package sour cream
• 1 (16-ounce) package cottage cheese, small curd
• 8 eggs
• 2 (4-ounce) sticks of butter, melted
• 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• TOPPING:

Preparation

Step 1

Combine 1 1/2 cups of sugar, vanilla, sour cream, cottage cheese, eggs, 2 sticks of melted butter, and cream cheese in a blender, then blend until smooth. You can do this in batches if not everything fits in the blender.

In a large bowl, mix the cheese mixture with the cooked noodles.

Grease a 9x13-inch pan and add noodles.

Crumble together 8 teaspoons of sugar, 8 tablespoons of melted butter, and Graham crackers until they make a crumble or sand-like texture. Add topping onto the noodles. Bake at 350°F for 1 hour. Let cool slightly before serving.
