Erika's Amazing Noodle Kugel

Submitted by ErikaS13

"This sweet dessert is a cross between a cheesecake and a pudding. I always get request to make this for every special occasion, holiday, or pot luck. People think it sounds weird at first, but then taste it and fall in love! You can serve with similar items that you would serve a cheese cake with, cherry pie filling, strawberries, chocolate sauce, or cinnamon sugar."
