I would not recommend this recipe. The galaktoboureko was bland and the phyllo dough was tough.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my galaktoboureko didn't turn out as good as I expected. The custard was a bit too runny.

I'm not a big fan of custard, but this galaktoboureko was surprisingly good. The custard was creamy and flavorful, and the phyllo dough was crispy and flaky.
