Dairy Noodle Pudding

This sweet, creamy noodle kugel gets it smooth texture from cottage cheese and sour cream and it's sweet kick from cinnamon, orange juice and raisins. A surprising crunchy topping puts it, well, over the top. It's a wonderful side dish served warm or at room temperature.

…The Backstory continues: This is a scrumptious side dish that’s a wonderful alternative to potatoes or rice. Unlike other noodle puddings, this variety takes its cheesy consistency from cottage cheese (hang in there–I promise, it’s delicious), and a mixture of sour cream, eggs, vanilla, orange juice and sugar. The Corn Flakes topping give it an extra crunch.

This is a great dish to serve with fish or with a salad. It can also be used for breaking the fast on Yom Kipper and a host of other occasions. Serve hot or at room temperature.
