(Jewish News) Sweet noodle kugels are one of my favorite parts about break the fast after Yom Kippur, but the flavors in this version are quite different than the ones I usually enjoy. I love how tropical this dish tastes and how nicely the coconut compliments the fruit. If you like ambrosia salad, I highly advise you to test out this kugel this holiday season. I think you’ll also find a new favorite version!
