Umm Ali is a delicious Egyptian dessert equivalent to North America's bread pudding. You can serve it warm with a scoop of French vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

  • 1 frozen puff pastry , thawed
  • 0.25 cups raisins
  • 0.25 cups slivered almonds
  • 0.25 cups pine nuts
  • 0.25 cups chopped pistachio nuts
  • 0.25 cups sweetened , flaked coconut
  • 5 cups milk
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

    Unroll 1 puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface and roll out to about 17x12-inches. Place on a baking tray.

    Bake in the preheated oven until puffed and golden brown, about 15 minutes.

    Break puff pastry into pieces and place in a large bowl. Add raisins, almonds, pine nuts, pistachios, and coconut; toss until well combined. Spread evenly in a 9x13-inch glass baking dish.
