About Galaktoboureko

Galaktoboureko is a traditional Greek dessert made with a creamy semolina custard encased in layers of flaky phyllo pastry, baked until golden, then drenched in a fragrant syrup made of sugar, water, and often flavored with lemon or cinnamon. Known for its rich and indulgent texture, this dessert is a staple in Hellenic cuisine, often enjoyed during celebrations and gatherings. While Galaktoboureko offers a delightful combination of sweetness and crunch, it is high in calories, saturated fats, and sugar due to the butter and syrup used. The semolina in the custard provides some fiber and essential minerals, but the nutritional profile leans more toward indulgence than healthfulness. Best enjoyed as an occasional treat, Galaktoboureko reflects the craftsmanship and flavors of traditional Greek baking, offering a taste of cultural heritage in every bite.
