Sweet Noodle Kugel

Sweet Noodle Kugel

Kugel:
500g (17.5 oz) noodles
56g (1/2 stick) butter
6 eggs
500g (17.5 oz) cottage cheese
345g (1 1/2 cup) sour cream
80ml (1/3 cup) light cream
225g (1 cup) white sugar
120g (4 oz) raisins

Topping:
4 tbsp breadcrumbs
3 tbsp sugar
2 tsp cinnamon

1) Cook noodles according to directions (Add a splash of oil into the boiling water before cooking to prevent noodles from sticking together). Once cooked, rinse under cold water for 1 minute. Drain well.

2) Preheat oven to 190C / 375F. Lightly grease a deep metal square baking pan and set aside.

3) In a small bowl, combine together the topping ingredients and set aside.

4) In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Turn off the heat and let cool slightly. Beat in the eggs, cottage cheese, sour cream, light cream and sugar. Mix everything well. Add in the noodles and raisins and stir to combine.

5) Pour the mixture into the baking dish. Sprinkle with breadcrumb/sugar mixture.

6) Bake for approximately 1 hour. You may check the Kugel after 45-50 minutes. If the center looks a little bit runny but the edges are brown and firm, you may remove it from the oven. It will firm up while cooling.

7) Let cool for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or cold.
