Different Greek Desserts to Try

Everyone loves a good sweet treat, whether it’s a pick—me—up in the middle of the day or dessert after dinner. The next time you pick out your next dessert, consider trying something different. Greek desserts will have you craving a sweet treat at all times of the day. Visit Greco Truly Greek in Boston, Burlington, and Washington D.C. to try our authentic Greek loukoumades. Keep reading below to learn more about some popular Greek desserts to try. 

Treat Yourself to Loukoumades 

If you’re a lover of donuts, then you have to try loukoumades. They are small, deep-fried dough balls that are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Loukoumades are usually drizzled with honey and sprinkled with cinnamon and walnuts. They are often described as Greek donuts and can be a satisfying treat after a meal—they are a favorite in Greece and beyond. At Greco Truly Greek, we offer loukoumades in the original style with cinnamon, honey, and walnuts. Still, we also provide Tasos loukoumades with sea salt, caramel, tahini, toasted sesame, and Yaya’s loukoumades with hazelnut praline, oreo cookies, and powdered sugar. 

Indulge in Portokalopita

Portokalopita is another fan favorite in Greece and around the world. This Greek dessert is known for its unique combination of textures and flavors. Translating to “orange cake” in Greek—”portokalo” meaning orange and “pita” meaning cake–portokalopita is a moist cake infused with bright orange flavors. It’s primarily made of phyllo dough, semolina, and fresh oranges, combining to bring you a delicious balance. This dish is visually appealing with its bright colors and delicious with its perfect blend of ingredients. Although we don’t serve this at Greco Truly Greek, visit our partner restaurant, Krasi, in the Back Bay to try our Portokalopita there

Try Greek Baklava

One of the most famous Greek desserts is Baklava, a rich, sweet pastry made with thin layers of phyllo dough. It is typically filled with chopped nuts (walnuts or pistachios) and sweetened with honey or syrups. The combination of crunchy phyllo, nuts, and the sticky sweetness of honey creates an irresistible sweet treat. It is often served at events and celebrations but can also be found at your local Greek pastries shop daily for those craving this sweet treat. 

Your Chocolate Dream with Sokolatopita 

Sokolatopita is a decadent Greek chocolate cake that is a dream come true for chocolate lovers. This dessert combines the dense, moist texture of cake with the satisfying sweetness of chocolate, making it a popular treat in Greek cuisine. Unlike most traditional Greek desserts, which feature ingredients such as syrups, nuts, honey, etc., Sokolatopita takes a more modern approach, focusing simply on the taste of chocolate. We don’t serve this dessert at Greco Truly Greek, but we do offer it at Krasi in the Back Bay. We provide a Sokolatopita Sundae with halva ice cream, tahini caramel, strawberry sauce, whipped cream, and candied walnuts.
