Portokalopita

Portokalopita is a traditional Greek dessert that is famous for its delicious blend of flavors and textures. The name "portokalopita" comes from the Greek word "portokali," which means orange, reflecting one of its key ingredients. This dessert is a type of Greek orange cake or pie made with layers of phyllo dough, which is a thin pastry dough commonly used in Greek and Middle Eastern cuisine. Between the layers of phyllo, there is a filling made with a mixture of eggs, sugar, Greek yogurt, orange zest, and sometimes a splash of orange juice or orange liqueur for added flavor.
