Um Ali is a traditional Middle Eastern dessert originating from Egypt, celebrated for its rich, comforting flavor. This dish is akin to bread pudding, made by layering puff pastry or bread with milk, sugar, and cream, then baking it to golden perfection. It’s typically garnished with nuts like almonds, pistachios, and hazelnuts, along with raisins and shredded coconut, adding texture and a natural sweetness. While Um Ali is indulgent and packed with energy, it can be high in calories, sugar, and fat due to the use of cream and pastry. On the healthier side, the nuts and dried fruits contribute fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Moderation is key when enjoying this dessert, as its luscious taste can make it hard to resist. For a lighter version, consider swapping full cream for skim milk and reducing added sugar.
