Umm Ali is a traditional Egyptian dessert often enjoyed across the Middle East. This indulgent treat is made by layering puff pastry or phyllo dough with milk, sugar, and a blend of nuts such as almonds, pistachios, or walnuts. Raisins and coconut flakes are common additions for extra flavor, and it's baked to golden perfection. While Umm Ali is comfortingly rich and satisfying, it’s not particularly low in calories or fat due to its use of full-fat milk, butter, and pastry. However, it offers a source of energy from its carbohydrate content and contains nutrients from the added nuts, like healthy fats, protein, and vitamins. Portion control is key in making this dessert a responsible indulgence, and substitutions such as low-fat milk or reduced sugar can make it a slightly healthier option without compromising its delightful taste.
