Galaktoboureko
Galaktoboureko is a traditional Greek dessert featuring a custard baked in a crispy phyllo pastry crust, soaked with a sweet syrup. My mom got this recipe from a coworker and made it regularly when I was young. After all these years, it's still a family favorite. I hope that everyone enjoys it as much as we do.
Healthy Peanut Butter Mousse
I whipped this up after school one day when I wanted peanut butter and a healthy snack. There are many other toppings that can be used with this such as Nutella®, extra peanut butter, granola, fruit, oats, graham crackers, cookies, or cereal. The possibilities are endless!
Steamed Sponge Cake
If this steamed sponge cake is instead baked in an oven, the texture is quite different. It is a sweet cake.
