This recipe is delicious, but it has a million calories per serving. If you leave out the sugar you don't have a sweet kugel which is what this is supposed to be. And don't serve it with brisket, it belongs with bagels and lox.

try using Splenda in place of sugar and agave nectar in place of honey.

Wonderful old fashioned Jewish dessert if you like you can use vanilla wafers, corn flakes or whatever even leave it out and just have the noodles which is more traditional BUT it must have raisins this recipe is a fattening fantastic Favorite!

Will dividing the reoipe in half affect the over all flavor? I'm not sure about "sweet noodles".

How many calories are there in this yummy sounding pudding? And what are graham crackers? we don't have them in England. Or if we do I don't know where to find them.

Most kugel recipes do NOT call for graham crackers at all so feel free to leave them out.

You can use corn flakes which is how my mother always made this. Just add some cinnamon to the mixture-the amount is up to your personal preference. Hope this helps!

I think Graham crackers are called Digestive Biscuits in England. Using 1/2 digestive biscuits and 1/2 crushed rich tea biscuits may make it similar to Graham Cracker crumbs.

How many calories? If you really want to enjoy this, you don't want to know. ; )

I ate some of this as dessert at a Greek Restuarant. Me and my girlfriend asked for the recipe and they wouldn't give it to us. Later at the shopping mall, we thought about going to a book store and looking for the recipe. We had good luck and found it. It was just like this one,only it didn't have the graham cracker crumbs. I lost my receipte moving and have not seen another one like it until I saw this one. Plan to make it tomorrow. It is delicious.

For me, i would reduce the butter by at least half, only four eggs, cut out the sugar completely and just dust with cinnamon (and maybe sliced almonds) on the top rather than the graham crackers. We like to add pre-soaked white raisins and use the wide noodles, not the thin ones in the image. It becomes more of a savory side to brisket or poultry than a dessert.

I lost my mother's recipe for Noodle Pudding and have tried several that were not very good. I tried this recipe and it was like old home week! It was everything I remembered my mother's recipe to be! Excellent!!
