Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the water, sugar, cranberries, apricots, and cherries. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved, about 2 minutes. Stir in the couscous and remove the pan from the heat. Cover the pan with a tight fitting lid until the couscous has absorbed all of the cooking liquid, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Using a fork, fluff the couscous to break up any lumps. Add the almonds and hazelnuts and toss. Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet until completely cooled, about 10 minutes.
- Transfer the couscous to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.
- Serving Suggestion: Drizzle the couscous with 1/4 cup of extra-virgin olive oil for a moister texture.

Steps:
- Custard: Bring the milk to boil in a medium saucepan. While it is heating, place the egg yolks, sugar, & a pinch of salt into a mixing bowl & beat until pale yellow & thick. Add the cornstarch & beat until smooth.
- Gradually pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, stirring continuously. Pour back into the saucepan, cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until boiling. Continue to stir vigorously until the custard is smooth, about 45 seconds.
- Remove from the heat & continue to beat vigorously for another 30 seconds. Stir in the vanilla & rose water. When cool, place a sheet of plastic wrap directly on the custard so it does not form a layer of skin. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Couscous: Toasted the almonds until golden brown. Chop the almonds & walnuts in a food processor. Add to the dates & raisins then set aside.
- Prepare the couscous as directed on the package (should make around 4 cups, cooked). Then stir in the butter & sugar.
- When ready to serve, spread the custard on the bottom of a 10-12 inch round serving dish. Cover the custard with half the couscous then scatter the nut mixture evenly over it. Top with the rest of the couscous & sprinkle with the ground pistachios.

- Om Ali (Umm Ali- Egyptian Bread Pudding) This traditional Egyptian dessert doesn’t date back quite to Cleopatra’s time, but it goes as far back as the 13th century.
- Basbousa. My mom likes to say that just looking at this Egyptian sweet cake is enough to give her diabetes, and while she’s joking, she’s not entirely wrong.
- Kunafa. It may look like an odd plate of broccoli and cheese, but this dessert is a Middle Eastern favorite, especially during Ramadan when Muslims spend most of the day fasting.
- Egyptian Feteer Meshaltet. This crispy, layered pastry may look like a deflated croissant, but it tastes pretty amazing. To make it, you’ll only need five basic baking ingredients – salt, unsalted butter, oil, water, and flour.
- Rice Pudding. We’ve probably all tasted rice pudding, but unless you’re an Egyptian native or descendent, I’m not sure that you’ve ever had rice pudding quite like this.
