Low Fat Noodle Pudding

This Low Fat Noodle Pudding is delicious enough to fool any kugel lover and a perfect addition to your holiday table!

Low Fat Noodle Pudding

Holidays always bring back fond memories of my childhood. As far back as I can remember, at all of my family gatherings, someone brought a noodle pudding otherwise known as a kugel. There are many different versions of this sweet side dish. Some feature peaches or apricots, my family’s recipe was all about the apples. I love the sweetness of the apples and raisins which pair so well with turkey, chicken or brisket.

My version of a Low Fat Noodle Pudding is much lower in calories, fat and cholesterol than a traditional recipe. By substituting low-fat and nonfat versions of cottage cheese, sour cream, butter and eggs, the numbers fall dramatically, yet it’s still super tasty. I also swapped traditional egg noodles for fiber-enriched noodles to bump up the nutritional value. It’s a deliciously sweet addition to any holiday meal or other celebration. Always a crowd pleaser and simple to prepare, it will become a family favorite. No one will know it’s lighter than the original! Happy Holidays!
