Greek cream pie is a Greek phyllo pastry dessert filled with milk custard and commonly soaked in syrup. It is often known as galaktoboureko; the contrast between crisp pastry and soft, creamy filling is its signature.
Greek cream pie is made by layering buttered phyllo around a thick milk custard, then baking it until golden. A sugar syrup is poured over the baked pastry, often while the pie is hot, so it can soak in.
Greek cream pie typically contains phyllo, milk, eggs, sugar, and butter. Semolina is often added to thicken the custard, while the syrup may include lemon or orange zest, cinnamon, or vanilla depending on the recipe.
Yes, Greek cream pie is a descriptive English name for galaktoboureko, a Greek dessert of phyllo pastry and milk custard. Recipes vary, but galaktoboureko is generally baked and finished with syrup, unlike many unsyruped custard pastries.
Greek cream pie, or galaktoboureko, is usually baked in layers and soaked with syrup. Bougatsa is a separate Greek pastry, often filled with custard and served with powdered sugar and cinnamon rather than syrup; regional recipes can differ.
Greek cream pie can be served warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Letting it rest after baking helps the custard set and the syrup absorb; many people prefer it at room temperature, when the pastry and filling are easier to portion.
To keep Greek cream pie phyllo crisp, brush the layers with butter and avoid oversoaking the baked pie. Syrup gradually softens the pastry, so add it sparingly and serve the pie soon after it has rested.
Keep Greek cream pie covered in the refrigerator because its custard contains dairy and eggs. For the best texture and flavor, eat it within a few days; the phyllo will soften as it sits in the syrup.
Yes, Greek cream pie can be frozen, though thawing usually makes the phyllo softer. For a better result, freeze it before adding syrup, thaw it in the refrigerator, and warm it briefly in the oven before serving.
Greek cream pie is commonly served on its own with coffee or tea. A small amount of cinnamon or chopped pistachio makes a fitting topping, while unsweetened coffee balances the dessert's rich custard and syrup.

Greek cream pie is a Greek dessert made by layering delicate phyllo pastry around a rich milk custard, then finishing it with syrup. The pastry turns crisp and flaky while the centre stays soft and creamy, with a sweet, fragrant finish. In Greece it is often served as a dessert after a meal, at room temperature or slightly chilled, and pairs well with coffee. It is also familiar in Greek communities elsewhere, where it makes a welcome addition to a shared dessert table.
Its energy comes largely from the pastry, custard and syrup, while it provides little fibre. A modest slice alongside unsweetened coffee or tea is a simple way to keep the serving lighter.
