Umm Ali (Egyptian Dessert) |
so let's not talk long and let’s know about it more.
A little background on Umm Ali Dessert:
Umm Ali is a
traditional Egyptian dessert dating back 700 years, and it is the national
dessert of Egypt. It consists of many different components. The name “Umm Ali”
dates back to the Ayyubid era in Egypt.
Named after the wife of
the ruler of the Ayyubid Empire in Egypt who asked her chefs to create the most
delicious dessert they could make and distribute throughout the country; the
chosen recipe became a national dish of Egypt.
Ingredients:
- one bag of toast bread
- 100 g milk cream
- 40 g whipping cream
- Cup crushed nuts, grated coconut, and raisins (quantity as desired)
- Liter of milk (boiled and sweetened with sugar (sugar to taste))
- butter
Steps:
1- We bring the toast slices and grease from the top with
butter stacked in a tray and placed in the oven on the middle rack at a temperature
of 150-160 C until completely roasted, taking into account not to burn, after
roasting leave the toast slices to cool and after cooling can be used directly
or can be covered and used at any other time.
2- In a bowl
or bowl, put the whipping cream and add the milk gradually with the beater hand
wire or electric beater until the consistency of the cream becomes swollen and
liquid relatively. The cream is tasted and if it needs sugar (the amount of
sugar as desired) add the ground sugar gradually with whisking until it reaches
the required sugar degree.
3- Rosted toast
slices are placed in a pottery casserole, and in the absence of pottery,
ceramic or Pyrex casseroles or a regular tray of an appropriate size can be
used.
4- Add crushed
nuts with grated coconut and raisins to the toast in the preferred amount.
5- Pour the
whipping cream over the toast and stir the casserole lightly to distribute the
cream well and leave for 10 minutes until the toast absorbs the whipping cream.
6- Put the cream on the face of the tray and then light the
grill in the oven from the top on medium heat and place tray Umm Ali on the
middle shelf under the grill and leave until it takes a golden color from the
face.
7- Take the
tray out of the oven and leave to cool well, then cover and put in the
refrigerator and serve very cold.
