Cooking Instructions
- 1
The puff pastery I buy comes cut into squares, if you buy it as one sheet cut it into squares. Spread the puff pastery in the baking sheet and bake it in the oven at 200ºC for 20 minutes or until the pastery has puffed up and is slightly golden brown.
- 2
Set the pastery aside to cool down. While waiting for the pastery to cool chop the walnuts, pistachios, and almonds. Mix them together in a bowl and add the coconut to them.
- 3
Once the puff pastery has cooled shred half of it and place it into a deep baking dish or pyrex. Spread the nut mixture and raisins over the pastery layer, but save 1-2 tablespoon of the nut mixture.
- 4
Shread the rest off the puff pastery and spread over the nut mixture layer. Sprinkle the 1-2 tablespoon of nut mixture on top.
- 5
Mix the milk, cream, and sugar in a pan. Heat the mixture until all the sugar has dissolved.
- 6
Pour the milk mixture over the puff pastry and nut mixture. Bake in a 180ºC oven for 10 minutes.

This dish is best served hot. Enjoy :)

Umm Ali (Egyptian Dessert) Umm Ali (Egyptian Dessert)
#post15 - This is a traditional Egyptian dessert that is very popular in all Middle Eastern countries, especially during Ramadan. It is made of puff pastry / croissant and is almost similar to bread pudding, but without any eggs. It is very simple to prepare where all you need is to pour thickened milk over some shredded croissant, followed by some cream, coconut and chopped nuts. It is then baked till done. Can be enjoyed hot or cold. I prefer the latter one. So here is my version where I added some khoya and flavoured it with cardamom powder and some rose water instead of the usual vanilla essence that is used. #goldenapron

Kahk (Egyptian Dessert) Kahk (Egyptian Dessert)
I learned this recipe from my Egyptian friend's grandmother, who is a great cook.Since the dough is not very sweet, it's better to sprinkle on a lot of powdered sugar.Kahk without any filling tastes great also.Ghee is a butter that is made from milk fat from water-buffalo. I bought it at a wholesale market in Tokyo. Since cardamom has a strong smell, it's best to use it in moderation. Recipe by pumpkinpot
