Sweet Noodle Kugel

Instructions

Make the noodles and custard

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Slick a 9-by-11-inch (23-by-28-cm) baking dish with cooking spray.

Using a handheld mixer and a large bowl or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the butter and granulated sugar on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add the cream cheese and continue to mix until smooth, 1 minute more.

Add the eggs, vanilla, cottage cheese, and raisins, and mix gently to combine.

Boil the noodles in a large pot of salted water according to the package directions, about 5 minutes. Drain in a colander.

Use a spoon to stir the drained egg noodles into the custard.

Make the topping

Combine the melted butter, cornflake crumbs, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl.

Pour the kugel into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the cornflake topping evenly over the top of the kugel.

Bake the kugel

Bake, uncovered, until slightly puffed and golden on top, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool before serving. The kugel can be served warm or at room temperature.
