- I present you Galaktoboureko, my favourite Greek dessert of all time! It’s crispy layers of Greek phyllo pastry on top and on the bottom, filled with a creamy, semolina custard, that is delicately soaked in a honey lemon syrup and sprinkled with copious amounts of ground cinnamon on top. I get asked for my recipe all the time so while we’re still in some form of quarantine, let’s have some warm, baked semolina custard. FULL RECIPE BELOW
RECIPE: GALAKTOBOUREKO - GREEK CUSTARD DESSERT
1 cup fine semolina (250 ml)
1 1/2 cups sugar (375 ml)
5 eggs
6 cups milk (1.5 L)
1 vanilla bean
zest of 1 lemon
16 sheets of phyllo
1/2 cup melted butter (125 ml)
ground cinnamon for sprinkling
Syrup:
¾ cup honey (175 ml) (Greek Thyme honey, preferably)
1 cup water (250 ml)
1/2 cup sugar (125 ml)
juice of 1/2 lemon
1 cinnamon stick
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, semolina, milk, and scrape 1 vanilla bean Stir continuously over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil and thickens, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and add grated zest and eggs ( lightly beaten) while stirring. Let cool for 10 minutes.
Don’t start buttering your phyllo sheets, until you finish the adding the eggs to your cream or it will dry out.
Melt butter and brush phyllo leaves. Arrange about eight leaves on bottom of rectangular pan.( 9" x 13“ or 23 cm x 34 cm ) Pour in cooled custard. Butter another eight leaves and arrange them one over the other. Make several cuts with a knife to allow steam to escape.
Bake in middle of oven at 375F (190C) for about 35 minutes or until golden and custard has puffed.
Meanwhile, mix all syrup ingredients in a pot and bring to a boil and simmer gently until slightly thickened and reduced by about 1/4 . Cool .
Pour cooled syrup over hot custard. Adjust the quantity of syrup to your liking .
Sprinkle with cinnamon.
Serves 12

#galaktoboureko #greekfood - Jak na to + styl
GIRL, I made this for the first time for a crowd of people. You would have thought I was an Old Greek Grandma that just made a masterpiece that she couldn't pronounce. Great instructions
Update: y'all I am an old southern cook that has been making this desert for 2 years now. I have been use to making our version of egg custard pie and coconut custard which are southern favorites. But this recipe takes custard to a total new level. People pay me to make this for them for their family functions. I have had to go up on my price due to the rise in food cost, but it hasn't stopped people from ordering this desert. I promise you, make this, follow her recipe and instructions and you will not fail at this fantastic desert.
Oh yeah....after 2 years I know how to pronounce it now, I practiced a lot. A long way from the first time I made it when I had to pull up the video to show people the name of the desert I made🤣 It still doesn't make me a real YaYa. I would never take away from the authentic Greek cooks that deserve all the credit for their fantastic food. We all look forward to our Greek Festival here in Columbia SC. It's a big month for us here, our Greek Festival and then our Irmo Okra Strut Festival. Yes, we love to eat and food is our way we show our love 😘
ahaha ! That is sooo awesome. Go grandma.
A Greek Grandma is called YaYa
@@joeburns5193 *Yiayia.
Thanks I like your teach for cooking ,is yami ❤
😂🥰
Made this for my Greek partners name day. First time ever cooking a Greek dish. Never worked with philo, nor have I even had custard. He hasn’t had this since is Yaiyai died, so when he tried it he got emotional. He and his parents said it was perfect!! He was shocked that I was able to make it. Thank you so much, you really are a great instructor.
Soo fantastic ! 👏👏 it’s incredible how emotional food is and I’m so glad you were able to ace it. It’s tough to impress the Greeks
I spent a month in the Greek islands in the 70's, and found the sweets sickly sweet! So Christine making her sweets 50% less will make them far more suitable to my palate! Going to cook a completely Greek meal for my friends and family! Christine's Dad's moussaka, Greek salad and this Custard dish Gala!
WOW! My wife and I just made this. It turned out beautifully! Just like the video. Christine is absolutely right, this recipe is the perfect sweetness. I would also note that we used a regular cream of wheat so the custard was slightly coarse, so make sure you get a fine semolina or cream of wheat. This is definitely going into our "Making this Again!!" recipe binder. Well done and thanks for the dessert.
Couldn't one just whizz dry cream of wheat through a nutribullet? Make it finer?
Holy Cow.... I have been saying for YEARS that this is MY favorite dessert! I drooled just watching......... I like it still a bit warm from the oven.
I know right? Thanks
My favourite too from years ago... can still vividly remember how amazing it was.. and I've only had it once..lol😋
Having never tried it, I just made it tonight and it is simply heavenly. As I mentioned on a previous comment, waiting for it to cool was the hardest thing to do ... so, so good!
Please don't use the word "holy" like that! its very wrong when people use "holy this or holy that. God bless.
The best part i liked when the cameraman waited enough time live to show the final piece. It felt as if I could taste it. Yumm
Omg when you held up that slice of custard with a bit of phyllo my mouth was watering!!!!
It's ridiculous right? Thank you for watching
...MY TOO lol she made it looks like anyone can do it with the same results!! I'll try my best ... Ohhh I will . wish me luck!!!
11
OK, I made it.
O M G
You weren’t kidding - this is perfection… not too sweet, the ideal ratio of custard to pastry.
THANK YOU for sharing this recipe with all the tips (sprinkling a little water on top before baking was an amazing suggestion!!) 💕🙋🏻♂️🇬🇷💕
Yes ! That is amazing. Now I want to make it ..
One tip if i may. Use the best quality butter you can find, my preference 50% cow's, 50% sheep's . You can try to put the oven pan in fridge for 1/2 to 1 hour before baking, it will help the phyllo become crispier. Greetings from Greece, stay safe !
SPIROS ROMEOS love all your little extra ideas. I have never made it with 50% sheep’s milk so that is a great idea. I agree with you the quality of butter is paramount. Thank you for watching and stay safe in Greece.
Do you put the pan in the fridge after it’s filled?
@@MsKK909 I do not but many do to help keep the phyllo crispy even after the syrup is added. Thanks for watching
@@ChristineCushing o
I know they have the sheep/cow milk butter in New Zealand but have never seen it here in the U.S. . I love custard so I have to try this.
I was introduced to galaktoboureko at the annual Greek Festival in my city. As someone who is half Lebanese I was stunned that there wasn't a variation of this in my culture (or at least in my family). Being very familiar with making phyllo dough deserts, I immediately set out to make this one, and it's fantastic! Like you, I cut the sweetness way down. While I love Greek desserts, I don't like it overly sweet and dripping with syrup, but it is amazing no matter what. I need to make this again now!
So glad you appreciated my revised - less sweet- interpretation. Thank you
Bravo! Yia to kalo!! It's really my favorite dessert. My mama used to make her own phyllo. She would clean the entire house; first. Then, she would lay clean cotton sheets on all the flat surfaces in our house [dining room table, kitchen table all of the beds and even the couch]. She used her "rolling pin" [a section of a broom handle that she used for years]. She would carefully stretch out the dough until paper thin, and left out to dry. Truly an art form! My mouth is watering as I watch you make your galaktoboureko! 😋😊😋
Thank you. Wow your mom’s skills sounds amazing. How wonderful
That is an incredible memory - the entire house covered in paper thin dough!
I'm so impressed, I can visualize it! I'm curious if she taught you or anyone else her method/skills and passes on her recipe in order to keep the tradtion going ?
Wow - your mom making her own phyllo ... that's dedication and very impressive!!!
Connie that is so super neat to hear!!! Love it, your mom sounds amazing ❤
This looks amazing! I can't wait to make this. My Mom will love it. She loves custard and she enjoys the cream-crisp contrast in foods. She's decided at 65 that dessert is her favorite meal of the day lol. I think this will be a new favorite in our family. I'm so glad you shared it. Thank you 💗
Well , we have to give mom what she wants. I think she will love it. Thank you for watching and hope you are all safe.
OMG!!!!
Why, why, why was I not born greek? The food is so lovely it breaks my heart!
haha ! I know .. it's such great food.
You will find these deserts all over the Middle East and the Levant . They were actually introduced by the Ottomans...
@@lizzyw8 Who were the Ottomans?
@@lizzyw8 I used to bake a Greek Christmas cookie - after you bake the cookie, you dip it in a honey/lemon syrup & let it sit a while. When this guy from India tasted it, he said it tasted identical to the cookies his mom made. Like you pointed out, it probably originated with the Ottomans and spread east and westward.
@@lizzyw8 No you won't
I fell in love with this pastry when I was in greece for a summer. I walked into a tiny bakery in Loutraki. From that moment I was hooked. It was sweet but gently so. No added syrup. Heavenly!
Madame X it is truly addictive!
Oh how I wish that I was there! I can imagine how good that tastes. You are my new favorite chef. Thank you for sharing your recipes!! God bless ;)
OMG!!!! I remember the first time I had Galaktoboureko, I thought I had died and gone to Heaven! Yum!!! Thank you. Can't wait to try to make this.
I can't contain myself either... as you can see.
I want I want I want!!
This looks fabulous and I love the crispy contrast! Your enthusiasm inspires me to action! Thank you so much for sharing!
I tend to get super excited so I'm glad you are feeling it. Thanks for watching
Amazing! I make galaktoboureko me too when I have my daughter at home. People say that I make it perfect. Thank you for having share this tutorial with us. Be well and happy with your family.
I am in the town of Rethymno on Crete. There is a 91 year old gentleman here who sells hand made phyllo from his shop in the old town.
I am going to use his pastry for this dessert.
Will report back with reviews from my Greek friends.
Thank you, Christine! This looks amazing. Can’t wait to try it. 🇦🇺
Looks delicious. My mother made it with so much passion. Custard is the best. God Bless!
Oh my goodness! Nomnomnom 😋 that looks so good, thanks from South Africa 🇿🇦
Hey Christine, just wanted to say I made this today! I followed the recipe exactly and its DELICIOUS! The creamy inside, the crispy outside, the amazing syrup! Oh! One piece just went down so smoothly! Next time I will try using half n half. UPDATE: Its even better the next day! The custard gets cool and creamy in the fridge and that cinnamon on top blends beautifully with the lemon in the custard and the syrup! I might try making this a with an Indian flavor profile of saffron and cardamon in the syrup instead of cinnamon. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Saffron & cardamon what interesting twist to cinnamon ... thank you for sharing💖
My YiaYia used to make this at New Years. A silver dollar was put in it. If you got the silver dollar, you had good luck all year. First time I’ve seen a recipie for it. Thank you so much.
I hope you try it. 😊
I definitely will.
I've eaten this so many times in Greek cafe's, and I love it! Now I can't wait to make it at home! Thanks for the recipe! =)
I am so thankful I found your channel!!!! I love Greek food so much! Thank you for putting this out
there for us!!!!
I've watched a few of your videos this afternoon, Christine, and am so inspired by your expertise and charisma. I've just subscribed. Thanks!
Darryl
Thank you for the SUB and your kind words. See you in the kitchen!
I’ve always wanted to try to make this. You’ve inspired me! Thank you!
I hope you try it and let me know what you think. Thanks
Thank you for this - I love your food! My mum used to make this - and yes, it wrecked our kitchen too! One of my favourite desserts ever!
As you can see, I seem to be good at wrecking the kitchen LOL. Thank you
Hi Christine, I just wanted to let you know that I finally made this recipe - I had to search all over the city for fine semolina. I was just a shade under the recommended amount of sugar and after using the rind of the lemon, I squeezed all that lemon for the syrup and only used a small sprinkling of cinnamon but OMG ... it is simply awesome! Like you said, it's creamy and the lemon in the filling as well as the topping makes for a very bright delicacy. I had never tried this desert before but waiting for it to cool to have the first bite was one of the hardest thing to do - LOL Thank you!
Ah that is soooo great ! Thanks for sharing and watching
@@ChristineCushing Guess, who??? YES, it's me again and I watched as I am invited for Easter Sunday dinner and will bringing Galaktoboureko. I made my friend watched your video and afterwards she declared: "That's it, you are making & bring this dessert". And watching and I am ready to get my socks knocked off again 😅😅😅
PS: I even shared your video with a Greek lady we met at Costco💖💖💖
@@AidaJof hi again ! That is so awesome to hear. I can’t wait for you guys to try it. Happy Easter and enjoy it
@@ChristineCushing Happy & blessed Easter to you and your family
@@ChristineCushing Hi Chef Christine, I am happy to report that not only my socks were knocked off again, but so were my friend's ... 😋😋😋 I even posted in IG 👍
Whenever I see a new Greek dish that I have not had, I go to CZcams and put the name of this dish in the search bar BUT I also add your name! Your recipes are wonderful and I learn so much from watching you make the dishes! Thank you!
I got asmr when Christine said GALAKTOBOURIKO. I love the Greek language and this is a favorite dessert.
I grew up in Astoria and this takes me back to those 2am runs to Athens Cafe for a heavenly slice of galactoboureko. Thank you for this simple recipe!!!
My pleasure !
Oh yes! Love that place. The honey cake is bomb.
My brother used to take me along for his rounds at Astoria. That's what this reminds me of too.
Great way to get in touch with my Greek heritage!
Love to you Christine, its Nov. 2023, I shared your channel with several Greek family members.
Love your channel, your love and hospitality bring families together, traditions, and stories we all seem to share in our culture. Thank you, Blessings to you and your family.
❤❤❤
Thank you so much !
I could eat that whole pan, ohhhh my goodness that looks delicious.
I know that’s the problem right ? Thank you
It is heavenly - I just made it!!!
Wow, that looks amazing. thank you for the recipe. Can't wait to try it.
Yiasou Christine from London, thank you for the recipes. My mother died last year and this reminds me so much of her, she would make it often. I really appreciate how you reduce the sugar content in your recipes, agree with you100% there. Fabulous recipes. Thank you so much, LOVE your work x
Thank you for your note! These recipes connect us directly to our family, so I'm glad you like my reduced sugar. Merry Christmas
I'm sure this is what I used to love at a little Greek cafeteria owned by an old Greek man and his wife decades ago. I have asked people and never knew what it was called. Can't wait to make this. Thank you.
So glad you discovered my video. Hope you try it soon.
So I made this dessert over the weekend and we LOVED it!
Cream of Wheat is nostalgic for me, we used to eat it for breakfast a lot when I was a kid; I had no idea that Semolina and Cream of Wheat were either so alike or the same, so the taste of this dessert brought me back to my childhood in a wonderful way, reminiscent of my favorite hot cereal but upgraded into a more mature, sophisticated dessert. With the light flaky phyllo, I love the way the lemon lightens it all up both in the custard and the honey.
Just FAbulous! I was really intimidated to work w/ phyllo since it was my first time, but it was not nearly as difficult as I thought it was going to be, can't wait to make more Greek dishes! Thank you Christine!
Just found your channel today and you will forever be known to me Quarantine Christine!!😂😂😂I looooove your channel.!Just subbed. When I was first married my hubby and I lived in Glyfada, Greece for about 2 years (80-82) and we fell in love with Greek Food. I am literally going to try everyone of your recipes. Thanks so much for bringing back such fond memories.
OMG That is hilarious. I may have to mention that. So glad I could bring back some fond memories of Greece. See you in the kitchen and thanks for the SUB
Yummmmm - one of my favourite desserts.
Used to go to a Greek restaurant in Port Credit that made it, always saved room for a piece.
Thanks a million for sharing my favorite dessert .Guess what ! I'm going to make it tonight .you're inspiring, interesting, enchanting, outstanding & entertaining lady .
That was brutal watching you take a bite of that wonderful creamy custard, I have Tory this recipe, thanks for sharing. My mouth is watering.
It's crazy good.
The thicker the better when it comes to custard; I agree! This looks SO good.
You are right, I want some, it looks sinfully delicious, so creamy and the perfect touch of crunchy crust, above perfection. Love, Sol
Sol Elarien thank you. It’s ridiculous . Be well.
oh my, looks delicious. I think I know what I'll make for my "birthday cake" this year. Longing for my favorite greek restaurant from my Chicago days. Thanks!
Oh this would be a gooood birthday cake. Mmm
ME, TOO. OUR FAVORITE PLACE SERVED MANY COURSES FAMILY STYLE, LIVE MUSIC, AND THE WAITSTAFF DANCED.
I went straight to Greek town on my visit to Chicago. Yummmmm
I have to try this recipe omg it looks amazingly delicious 🤤
My husband is Greek, so I have made, Greek food, lots over the years. I have never, made this. You made, it look, so wonderful, I will, try it for Xmas. Thanks, stay safe
Please do try it . Xronia Pola and happy New Year !
just make sure you mother in law is not around. LOL
WOW, just cooked it for first time, looks stunning and tastes even better, I love the little lemon kick ever now and again in the custard, seriously Moorish. Thanks for the great recipe and cant wait to try your other dishes.
My pleasure. The lemon does really make it for me also. Thank you
Fantastic! I still remember eating this every day while spending 2 months on Mykonos back when I was 18 years old! This looks even better with teh double thick custard layer!
Ah memories of Greece are what is all about. Thank you for watching
Yia Yia, oh my goodness! This brings back memories on every single christmas, everyone would be hovering over the dinner table when they saw this getting taken out of the oven!
I had this dessert decades ago & loved it. Now I can make it myself! Thank you! ❤
My pleasure ! I hope you make it.
Your recipes and a chef from Greece (Vefa Alexiadou) are the ones I rely on since I lost the handwritten recipes my mother had years ago when i moved from California to Las Vegas---that galaktoboureko--which I made following your recipe was "Spot On!" especially since you suggesed it's OK to use cream of wheat in place of semolina! Thats what my mom used. Since you ask for some requests, well I haven't found a good recipe for traditional Stifado.
Here is a traditional and very good stifado.... almost exactly like my late mom used to make... enjoy!!!
czcams.com/video/_w1f7r8zMkA/video.html
Oh it looks gorgeous I could just eat a piece of the desert.
This looks DIVINE!!! Thank you!

The best dessert on the planet. Nothing else comes close.
You are obviously Greek, to be so bias.
@@2010redshift Try it and tell me what if you agree or disagree...but yeah.
@@pdk213 I just made it and it is heavenly!
@@AidaJof We make it for every family gathering and party - new initiates freak and request it everytime we do a food related event.
@@pdk213 I can understand why, it's so, so good!
The first time I tasted this dish I was overcome with yummy joy...Heaven. I like things less sweet too. Thank you.
You brought tears to my eyes when you had a slice! Looks so scrumptious
That custard does look so delicious and have me wishing to be there to taste it like a real Greek and see how yummy it is. You put plenty of work into making it and I compliment you on a great job again at making another magnificent dish and wish you and your family a great weekend.
Thank you so much . It is my pleasure and glad you are enjoying them.
If I had that tray, it would be Custards last stand.
That was a GREAT GREEK-AMERICAN PUN!!! SUPER CLEVER!
LOL
maritimer Man Very funny
Ba-dum-bum! 🥁😀👍🏼
😂🤣 you are absolutely hilarious that was so clever! A fellow custard lover?
my eyes are rolling back in my head looking at this dessert!!
Hahah !
Hilarious !! I am going to faint .
Omg.......just heaven to watch you eat it!
That looks so good, too hot to cook right now in Greece, so I'm just going to pop out to my local Galaktobouriko shop and buy one.😁
I love to the sky this ghalaktoboureko it brings me my grandmother's memories oh !! Christine this is so beautiful presentation of this recipe after all aren't GREEKS cute and there dishes too. Thank you so much.
Efxharisto Kai kalli imera ghia sena !!!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you conjure memories from your grandmother's kitchen. Be well and see you in the kitchen. Yia sou
It reminds me of my favourite Swedish dessert mannagrynspudding (mannagryn is semolina and pudding is pudding). It's a semolina porridge mixed with eggs and baked in the oven. It's often made with raisins in it and breadcrumbs on top.
Just made this amazing desert for my family it is wonderful, thank you so much for sharing 🥰🥰🥰
My pleasure !
This is def on my to make list. Nothing could
be better than this!! Lots of custard- yes!
WOW it was just my birthday I absolutely love custard pie, cream Brulee, and now this! I could almost smell it. This would have been an incredible birthday treat.
It would’ve been for sure ! Happy belated
That really looks amazing!!!!
That looks soooo delicious!!! I'm going to make this. I can tell it is scrumptious!
That is so gorgeous! Hope mine comes out just as good! Thank you for the lovely recipe
My pleasure! I'm counting on you LOL.
I’m new to your channel, I’ve been telling my husband that I’ve been craving Greek food, then I found you!! It’s pure torture everything looks incredible!! I need to get out to the store to purchase ingredients and try your recipes!!
Greek food is totally craveable! The minute you see something .. you want it. Thank you
Chef Christine....
I was so impressed with your you tube clip I actually made your recipe ... Three times and ready for a fourth ... Words cannot describe .. for my taste... How fantastic this desert is ... Amazing ! My favourite now .
One time I made this I had no lemons but loads of oranges ... So now I love it both ways .... Orange or lemon ... So so heart warmingly satisfying ... Thank you for sharing 😘
I love when viewers make the recipes and love them just as much as I do. Lemons and oranges both work and will give their own magic. Thank you for sharing your experience.
@@ChristineCushing I can’t get the recipe
Having so many similarities as two nations that have lived together for many years should make us happy and closer. Being originally from Black Sea makes me feel a special love for the Greeks. We also have the same dish called Laz böreği. 🇹🇷🇬🇷
Thank you ! Yes many similarities indeed. Be well
Thank you for sharing with us this gorgeous recipe! I’m definitely going to bake this!
Thank you for posting this! My favorite Greek dessert and often hard to find at the local Greek restaurants.
My pleasure ! It is sooo goood.
Ιts my absolute favorite! Oh that creamy cream.... Its CREAM DREAM!
Your quite a chef. I love the one handed breaking eggs.Looks delicious.
I used to work near a Greek restaurant, and a couple times a week I would go in after work and buy a serving to take home...it was my little end of the day treat.
My mouth is watering watching this. But now that I've seen you make it, the recipe doesn't seem so intimidating... definitely going to give it a go. 😋😋
I've made this a couple of times now , best recipe. Everyone absolutely loved it, thank you.
That is so great to hear ! We love it here too
I'm dying for a taste. But I have to say, and I love how much custard there is. I think I want twice as much phyllo to frame and support it.
Yes I agree. If you follow the actual recipe below video there will be more phyllo. Thank you
@none I suggest you make the rolled type then. If you put more sheets of filo in the layered style, I don't think the filo would brown properly. And when you pour the syrup on, it will make the filo soggy.
That looks and sounds delicious. I love custard-style desserts, so will be trying this at some point. Thank you! Plus, you're very good at your job - personable, clear, informative, charismatic..
I love this dessert. I will have to try this recipe
I love your channel, your recipes and your positive vibes! If I may, I want to share two tips for the non-greek people trying this for the first time. First put your sugar in your pan and then add the cold milk. That will create a protective layer and your cream won't have that milky smell. Secondly, when you take your galaktoboureko out of the oven make sure it's piping hot and the syrup is completely cool. That will help the syrup to be completely absorbed and your phyllo will still be completely crunchy. Let it cool (be patient) before cutting a piece so it doesn't fall apart. ❤️
AthensG6 👍🏽👍🏽
This custard looks amazing. I like how you have made it a little less sweeter than it normally is, although I like sweet, overly sweet just seems to kill the other flavors.
I made this about 28 yrs ago and it was fantastic...and even better after a day or two, Thanks for the reminder of what a great dessert it is, I see it on the menu very soon!
Wonderful!
The Ultimate Galaktoboureko is extremely delicious, and I love this dessert 🍨🍰💕😋👍🏽👌🏽.
OMG , my favorite Greek dessert!!!!!!!!!! Christine, you are a Giant :)!
Oh thank you !
Looks absolutely delish
I found you about a week ago and you're killing me! But I love you.You see I'm half greek so it's in my blood! Wonderful recipes and I love how you are so warm and open to your viewers!
Thank you so much! Glad you found my channel and we can hang out in the kitchen.
You know the word quarantine is only for people who are actually sick. You look pretty healthy to me. This recipe looks fabulous. My mom (who was not greek) made some special greek recipes from my father's family like stuffed grape leaves with the egg/lemon sauce and dolmades which we doused in honey and cinnamon, but she never made this. So I'm half Greek and I've never heard of this recipe. Wow! Looks fabulous. Can't wait to try it.
I just came across your site and I'm so happy I did!! I will definitely try this custard recipe. My mouth was watering just thinking about those ingredients.
I do hope you try it. Thanks for watching
I've died....must try this tomorrow. New viewer here. Love your style.
Welcome to my kitchen and thank you for joining me. Let me know how it turns out..
Planning to save this recipe for Christmas baking.
I love this dessert! One of my favorites 😍
This is what I dream of having all year long, so when my local Greek church has its festival I buy quite of bit of it. After seeing your video I am going to try making it. There is just nothing like this dessert. Thank you so much for the recipe.
So true... ! Have fun making and enjoying it .. Let me know how it turns out. Thank you
