Umm Ali, which means 'Mother of Ali,' is Egypt's beloved national dessert. It's a warm, comforting bread pudding made with layers of puff pastry or phyllo, soaked in sweet, creamy milk, and loaded with a mix of nuts, raisins, and coconut. Baked until bubbling and golden, it's a truly indulgent treat.
