🇬🇷 Greece recipe
Galaktoboureko
Galaktoboureko is the most beloved Greek custard dessert, featuring a thick, silky semolina custard encased in layers of shatteringly crisp buttered phyllo pastry and soaked in a fragrant lemon syrup. The contrast of hot, creamy custard with crisp, syrup-drenched phyllo creates an experience of pure dessert perfection.
