Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (218 degrees Celsius). Tear the cooled puff pastry sheet into bite-sized pieces and lay them in a 9" x 9" dish.
  2. Sprinkle the almonds, raisins, coconut chips, and sugar over the pastry.
  3. Pour the milk and half-and-half over the top, ensuring it evenly coats the pastry pieces.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes, until toasty and bubbly.

Notes

  • To store Umm Ali leftovers, place them in the fridge, covered, for up to 3 days. Its texture is best when fresh, but it holds up well. Freezing is not recommended, as it can alter the pastry's texture.
  • To reheat, cover with foil and warm in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the pastry soggy.
