By á-4084

This slightly sweet, very creamy Sweet Cream Cheese Noodle Kugel is the perfect dessert for any festive party spread. The raisins can be replaced with diced apples for a slightly tarter flavor. This dish is great for potlucks or any occasion when you need to feed a large crowd.

Ingredients

• 8-ounces wide egg noodles, about 3/4 (12-ounce) package
• 2 cups sour cream
• 8 (1-ounce) package cream cheese, whipped
• 8-ounces cottage cheese, about 1 cup
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 1 cup golden raisins
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Set oven to 350°F and set oven rack to middle position.

Butter a 13x9-inch baking dish.

Cook egg noodles in a pot until tender-firm, about 6 to 7 minutes; drain and set aside.

Place sour cream, cream cheese, cottage cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt in a food processor and process until blended, about 20 seconds.

Add the eggs and butter and process until incorporated, about 5 seconds more.

Pour the cream cheese mixture over the noodles in a large bowl then add the raisins and toss all together.

Spread kugel evenly into the prepared pan.

In a small bowl or cup combine 1 tablespoon sugar and cinnamon then and sprinkle on top.

Bake on center oven rack until the top is crisp and the center is firm and risen, and a tester comes out dry when inserted in the middle, about 45 to 50 minutes. Cool at least 30 minutes before serving.
