Kataifi Galaktoboureko
This past summer I had a version made with Kataifi, a pastry that looks like shredded wheat and it was tremendous: the aroma of butter, notes of citrus and vanilla. Dreamy!
Amygdalopita (Almond Pie)
A local told me this speaks to the abundance of local almond production on the island.
Biscoff Tiramisu
What do Biscoff cookies taste like? Think brown sugar, warm spices like cinnamon and nutneg.
Easy Bougatsa Me Krema
However, one of Greece’s most popular pastries has to be Bougatsa.
Pistachio Ice Cream
I love pistachios and when I see a true/real pistachio ice cream at a shop, I’ll likely order a scoop. My version has no artificial colouring, you can taste real pistachios and the way I do it is using a pistachio cream.
Chocolate Mint Ice Cream
This chocolate mint ice cream is made with the no-churn method, making it both tasty and easy.
No-Churn Olive Oil Ice Cream
With summer here, one of the ways I like to cool off (and treat myself) is with a scoop of ice cream. One flavour I want to bring to your attention is olive oil ice cream. Sounds strange but it’s delicious!
Strawberry Mousse
Strawberries are in season and while I am happy to eat them raw, they make for great desserts as well, like this Strawberry Mousse. You’ll also need some sugar, vanilla, and some whipped cream. A garnish of a half strawberry and you have a pretty (and tasty) little dessert.
Strawberry Granita
Chances are, strawberries are in season where you live or they are about to be.
So, let’s celebrate strawberries!
Citrus Olive Oil Cake
Greeks like using olive oil in a lot of our cooking, including desserts. A fruity olive oil works well with this cake and the result is always moist.
