Classic Noodle Pudding Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 (16 ounce) package wide egg noodles
• 0.5 cup butter, melted
• 1 (16 ounce) package cottage cheese
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
• 1 pint sour cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup white sugar
• 6 eggs, beaten
• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a large casserole dish for baking.
2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Cook noodles until al dente, approximately 8-10 minutes. Drain well and transfer to a large bowl. Mix in 1/2 cup of butter until melted and combined. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. In a separate large bowl, combine cottage cheese and cream cheese. Mix until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Stir in sour cream, vanilla extract, 1 cup of sugar, and eggs until well combined. Gently fold the cheese mixture into the cooked noodles, ensuring even distribution. Transfer the combined mixture to the prepared casserole dish.
4. In a medium-sized bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, the remaining 1/2 cup of butter, and the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar. Mix together until large, moist crumbs form. Evenly sprinkle this mixture over the noodle mixture in the casserole dish.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) and continue baking for approximately 45 minutes more, or until the topping is golden brown and the pudding is set. Allow to cool slightly before cutting into squares and serving warm.
