Repurposing leftover custardy-mixture

3 years ago

last modified: 3 years ago

I made this kugel: https://www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/noodle-kugel.html

I decided to only cook up half. Good thing as I was not crazy about it. I have never had a sweet kugel before and something about sweet pasta just seems odd.

Anyway, I now have half a bag of cooked noodles (easy to repurpose) and half of the custard mixture, in separate bowls.

The leftover custard mixture is comprised of:

2 large eggs
4oz container sour cream
4oz package cream cheese
1 cups half & half
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 /2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Do you think I could put it i buttered ramekins, bake them in a water bath, and get a custard, or are the proportions wrong ... will i need a thickening agent such as cornstarch?

DH said it was like macaroni and cheese and coffeecake had a baby, and both sides were dismayed.

That looks very similar to cheesecake. I don’t think you need thickening. if it seems runny, ma maybe add another egg. I looked up cream cheese custard and found this, so it seem like yours could work, with or without the topping.https://www.yummly.com/recipe/Baked-Cream-Cheese-Custard-with-Apricot-Sauce-9422229?prm-v1

OMG thank you, it is almost the same:

Now I know how long to bake it, too. I might even make apricot sauce!

I've only had kugel once and I didn't like it at all. It was heavy and I think mostly the sweet pasta part put me off.

Yeah, but we eat sweet rice all the time (love rice pudding)

Yeah, but rice isn't pasta. :) It's made up of little pieces that don't clump into a doughy mass of pure carbs.

I was wondering how it might work as a custard for rice pudding or bread pudding...

Just had it after dinner (well I didn't; I never want to see it again). By all reports it was like a light cheescake. Thumbs up.

Every time I scroll past this, I think I need to go make myself some ”custardy-mixture.” That sounds so satisfying, right now.

LOL Bbstx .. i really can't eat more than a small small bit of custard (and even then I will have a tummy ache)... but I dream of this recent Smitten Kitchen recipe and this thread makes me think of it multiple times a day now too! LOL

vanilla custard slices – smitten kitchen

This is my kind of dessert-- simple but delicious flavors in puff pastry.

Haha, BBSTX, should I delete it? I am visiting with my sister and I brought her some of the kugel and she liked it, go figure!

Funky, just stop it! You got me to buy that J. Jill dress and now you come in here with an attainable recipe of what might be my most favorite dessert - napoleons! I’m going to tuck that recipe away for a while. I want to lose a couple of pounds before I go on vacation because it is a culinary tour followed by a cruise! Poof! And there is a new 10 lbs before you know it!!

I know I'm late to the party, and it’s resolved and over with, but that recipe has too much sugar and cinnamon and not enough egg! I totally get your DH's reaction! LOLing, Glad the resolution came out well.
