Greek Custard Pie / Galatopita

Among the syrupy desserts, the light galatopita makes its presence known. It’s less sweet than melomakarona and kourabiedes for sure, yet still sweet enough to satisfy the dessert craving after a lavish Christmas feast.

The milky interior of the pie made out of butter, sugar, milk, cornstarch, semolina, and eggs is topped by a coat of sugar, lemon zest, water, and egg to make a crunchy overcoat; sort of like the French crème brûlée. At the end of the day, it’s simple, sweet, delicious, and makes for a very quick dessert served during the festive period.
