Here’s my mother-in-law’s recipe for sweet noodle kugel. (Not healthy!) I have never made it any other way, but I assume you can use gluten-free noodles. Not sure how it would turn out dairy-free.

Sweet Noodle Kugel

Serves: 8-12

Ingredients

½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted + more for greasing baking dish
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
¾ cup cane sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 large eggs
2 cups plain, unsweetened milk
8 ounces wide egg noodles, cooked and drained
optional: 1 handful golden raisins (I don't use.)
½ cup crushed cornflakes
optional: dusting of cinnamon and sugar (I don't use.)

Instructions

Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish with butter.
In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and cream cheese together. Add sugar, vanilla, eggs, and milk, and whisk until smooth. Add noodles (and optional raisins) and stir to combine.
Pour into prepared baking dish, cover and refrigerate all day or overnight.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 F degrees. Uncover kugel and sprinkle with cornflake crumbs (and optional cinnamon-sugar.) Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, until golden and set.
