This traditional Greek dessert consists of layered or torn phyllo sheets that are blended with a creamy, orange-flavored yogurt custard. When baked, the cake is doused in a thick, sugary, orange-spiked syrup. Portokalopita is a classic that comes in different versions and often incorporates semolina, cinnamon, vanilla, and dried or candied fruit.

It is best served well chilled and is occasionally paired with ice cream.
