Picture this: a rich, creamy mixture of milk and sugar, studded with crunchy almonds, all layered over flaky pastry. The flavor is a wonderful blend of sweetness and nuttiness, making each bite absolutely satisfying. This version uses puff pastry as a base, which adds a delightful texture that perfectly contrasts with the smoothness of the custard.
What makes this recipe special is the way the almonds toast in the oven, creating a warm, nutty aroma that fills your kitchen. As the Umm Ali bakes, the puff pastry puffs up, soaking up all that sweet goodness. You’ll find yourself reaching for seconds, maybe even thirds, because it’s just that good!
