Creamy Gluten-Free Noodle Kugel (2024)

Why we love this gluten-free kugel recipe:

1. This recipe is a must-try because it is so easy to make and just crazy good. The whole family will love it, even your picky eaters!
2. I experimented with a lot of different gluten free noodles to re-create my Grandma’s recipe. The biggest struggle I had in trying to convert my Grandma’s recipe to gluten-free was finding a gluten free noodle that would hold up to a lot of moisture.
3. I highly recommend adding diced or shredded apples to your kugel for Rosh Hashana. You can also use a gluten-free honey cornflake topping (by Nature’s Path for your apples and honey.)

Step 1: Cook the gluten-free noodles according to the package directions. Preheat your oven to 350º F.

Step 2: Add your wet ingredients to a bowl and use an electric mixer to whip them together.

Step 3: Add your cooked noodles to the cream cheese mixture. The noodles do not need to be cooled before being added. Mix to coat all of the noodles. Put the noodle mixture into an 8×8 greased casserole dish.

Step 4: If you use the cereal for a topping, put it into a sealed bag and crush it into crumbs.

Step 5: Sprinkle the crumbs over the noodle mixture.

1. Every gluten free pasta brand has different cooking directions so please use the cook times listed on the box.
2. Use full-fat sour cream and cream cheese. It will make the custard creamier.
3. If you do not have Cinnamon Chex Cereal, you can use any sweet topping. You can make a streusel topping, use toasted coconut, or use another fun sweet crushed cereal.
4. This kugel will keep fresh for up to 4 days in an airtight container or up to 4 months in the freezer.
