Puff Pastry Om Ali

Remove the puff pastry from the freezer and let it soften slightly while keeping it cold and firm. Arrange the cold puff pastry pieces on a baking sheet, leaving enough space between them to expand freely as they bake.

. Use the oven's bake setting. Allow 10 minutes.

Combine the milk, sugar, vanilla, and cream in a saucepan while still cold, stirring until smooth and evenly blended.

Heat the milk mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently and scraping the bottom, until it comes to a boil without sticking.

Add the mixed nuts to the hot milk mixture and stir gently until evenly distributed.

Crumble the baked puff pastry into a large earthenware dish, heatproof glass dish, or baking pan, spreading the pieces evenly throughout the dish.

Pour the hot milk mixture over the crumbled puff pastry, distributing it throughout the dish so all the pieces are evenly moistened. Let the puff pastry soak in the milk mixture for 5 minutes, until it absorbs the liquid and softens inside. Time: 5 minutes.

Spoon the cream over the dessert in an even, patchy layer, covering most of the surface.

. Use the broiler setting.

Garnish the browned top with dried coconut, pistachios, and pine nuts, distributing them evenly over the surface.

Serve the Om Ali hot immediately after garnishing, while the top is golden brown and the center is soft and saturated with the milk mixture.
