Galatopita

About the dish

A close relative of galaktoboureko —that is distinguished by the use of phyllo sheets—classic Greek galatopita combines semolina, milk, eggs, butter, and sugar into a creamy, custard-like treat. Often enriched with citrus zest (and wrapped in pastry in some regions), galatopita is baked until golden-brown and is typically garnished with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or cinnamon. With its light texture and delicate flavor, it can be served on any occasion and is best enjoyed well-chilled.
