How to Make Ohm Ali

  1. Preheat oven to the temperature specified on the crescent roll package. Bake crescent rolls according to package directions until golden brown. Let cool completely.
  2. Once cooled, coarsely crush the crescent rolls into small pieces.
  3. In a saucepan, bring the milk to a simmer over medium heat. Do not boil vigorously.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool for 3-4 minutes.
  5. In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  6. Gently fold the cooled milk into the whipped cream until well combined.
  7. Divide the crushed crescent rolls evenly among 5 individual oven-safe bowls, placing approximately half in the bottom of each.
  8. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of ground almonds into each bowl over the crescent rolls.
  9. Top with the remaining crushed crescent rolls.
  10. Pour the milk mixture evenly over the crescent rolls and almonds in each bowl.
  11. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes, or until heated through and slightly golden on top.
  12. Garnish with fresh or frozen cherries and serve warm or chilled.
