Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

Grease a 13x9-inch baking dish with butter. Set aside. (2 minutes)

03

Step
15 mins

Cook noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain well and return to the pot. Add 3 tablespoons of butter to the noodles and toss to coat evenly. (15 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, sugar, salt, sour cream, and crushed pineapple until well combined. (5 minutes)

05

Step
5 mins

Cut the drained sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch chunks. Add the sweet potatoes to the egg mixture. (5 minutes)

06

Step
5 mins

Gently fold the sweet potato mixture into the noodle mixture until evenly distributed. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. (5 minutes)

07

Step
2 mins

Sprinkle the top of the kugel generously with pumpkin pie spice. (2 minutes)

08

Step
45 mins

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pudding is set. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean. (45 minutes)

09

Step
40 mins

Let the kugel cool for at least 40 minutes before cutting into squares and serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the pudding to set properly. (40 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding 1/2 cup of golden raisins or chopped pecans to the noodle mixture.
To prevent the top from browning too quickly, tent the baking dish with foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking.
Kugel can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving.
For a dairy-free option, substitute the heavy cream and sour cream with coconut cream and a dairy-free sour cream alternative.
