Om Ali is a traditional Egyptian bread pudding made of soft and buttery croissants. Om Ali translated as Ali's mother is an authentic Egyptian puff pastry dessert. This is a simple and easy dessert that can be prepared in a jiffy. I made this Om Ali with the leftover croissants we bought for breakfast.
The buttery and flaky croissants made rich with whole milk and cream custard like base. The crunchiness from added chopped nuts adds texture to the delicious dessert. The lightly toasted coconut flakes adds flavor and and texture to the wonderful dessert. Since i have pumpkin seeds on hands i throw them into my Om Ali which i have no regret about (the traditional recepi doesn't have pumpkin seeds in them). Om Ali makes an ideal weekday dessert.
