Portokalopita is a classic and delicious Greek citrus dessert, which is very popular in Greece all year round.

So if you’re looking for the ultimate sweet to make when entertaining, look no further than here. This syrupy, refreshing and custardy dessert will no doubt leave your guests wanting more!

The base is custard flavored with orange zest (it needs no cooking) in which you mix the dried phyllo cut into pieces. Drying the phyllo is the part of the recipe that takes a little time and it is the most important one. Separate the sheets of the dough, place them on a large surface and let them dry for an hour or two. Time of drying depends on the temperature and the humidity so it may vary.

It may take a lot longer or less time. The rest is just ready in 5 minutes.
