Laurie’s Crunchy Noodle Pudding Recipe

  • Two 16-ounce packages broad egg noodles
  • 2 tablespoons margarine
  • ½ cup sugar
  • Three 3-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
  • 5 large eggs
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup golden raisins
  • ½ cup (1 stick) margarine, melted
  • 1 cup corn flakes, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 cup canned crushed pineapple, drained
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 × 13-inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the noodles in a pot of lightly salted boiling water with a little oil until soft but not mushy. Drain, return to the pot, and toss with the 2 tablespoons margarine. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and cream cheese. Add the eggs, milk, vanilla, raisins, and melted margarine and mix well. Add the cooked noodles and toss with a wooden spoon. Pour the noodles into the prepared baking dish.
  4. To make the topping, combine all the ingredients in a medium-size bowl, mixing well. Spread evenly over the noodles.
  5. Bake until the top is golden brown and crunchy, 45 to 60 minutes. Serve hot.
