Galaktoboureko Greek Custard Dessert | Christine Cushing

[@lynnschultz9510]

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 😘

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!

This is the best Galaktoboureko recipe I've ever used. It's the only one that reminds me of the Galaktoboureko I used to devour at my church's Greek Festival growing up. It's perfect.

That is Great ! I am a bit of a snob when it comes to this recipe, so I'm glad you love it.

[@RubyTwilite]

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!

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.

[@ChristineCushing]

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

[@JennyDemetri]

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

[@spi.ro.4164]

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 !

[@ChristineCushing]

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.

[@MsKK909]

Do you put the pan in the fridge after it’s filled?

[@ChristineCushing]

@@MsKK909 I do not but many do to help keep the phyllo crispy even after the syrup is added. Thanks for watching

[@AidaJof]

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!

[@connie6545]

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

[@mamaksstorytime]

That is an incredible memory - the entire house covered in paper thin dough!

[@faze_buendia9514]

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!

[@readingswithrose2536]

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.

[@theglenrow]

I want I want I want!!

[@bobjob27]

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.

[@lolodee3528]

Couldn't one just whizz dry cream of wheat through a nutribullet? Make it finer?

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!

Hi Christine, I just adore you and I have made many of your recipes, including pastitio earlier today. I make something called kadaif, and it's made with shredded filo dough, and a custard. Similar to what you are making today. Could I use heavy whipping cream and half and half for this recipe or your rag ruffled beautiful pastry, which I made as a ruffled pakhlava, you say baklava, my ethnic background is Armenian. Our 2 countries share so many foods and pastries that I feel we are cousins or older siblings. Again, I adore all your cooking and have watched so many of your programs that you are awesome and tell the viewers exactly what to do and don't leave anything out like some others. Have a good evening, and by the way, my neighbors enjoy all your Greek food I make from your recipes. God bless you and thank you, Violet from 🇺🇸

[@AthensG6]

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. ❤️

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.

Beautiful presentation. It was delightful hearing you tell us all about what you're doing. Listen to others who a showing their favorite recipe and how many times they say, "I'm gonna, then I'm gonna, and then I'm gonna, I'm gonna," over and over again until one doesn't care any more what they're "gonna." Thank you, plus something I definitely would like to create.

Thank you so much. To me cooking is a story and not just a set of wrote instructions, so I'm glad you are feeling it.

Thank you for posting this! My favorite Greek dessert and often hard to find at the local Greek restaurants.

[@ChristineCushing]

My pleasure ! It is sooo goood.

This looks devine. I find Greek desserts too sweet, I'm glad you've toned the sweetness down, I'm going to attempt this. Thank you.
