Well, Galaktoboureko is unique in many ways. The crunchy phyllo dough is concealing one of the tastiest pastry creams made with eggs, butter, milk and orange zest. However, the original version is made with sugar and cornstarch. This part is easy to alter and substitute with Keto ingredients. But, let’s not forget, phyllo dough has to be as thin as a sheet of paper. This is something that requires more time and experimenting. I promise you, with the help of my wife, I will come up with a solution to this. We might even come up with a Keto baklava recipe! That would be a huge hit!
