Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Step 2
Unroll 1 puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface and roll out to about 17x12-inches. Place on a baking tray.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until puffed and golden brown, about 15 minutes.
Step 4
Break puff pastry into pieces and place in a large bowl. Add raisins, almonds, pine nuts, pistachios, and coconut; toss until well combined. Spread evenly in a 9x13-inch glass baking dish.
Step 5
Pour milk into a saucepan; stir in sugar and vanilla. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until hot but not quite boiling. Pour over puff pastry mixture in the baking dish.
Step 6
Return to the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Turn on the broiler and continue baking until the top is browned, about 2 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving warm.
