I love this dessert - I had it in Greece but I've been trying to find a recipe. To those of you who make it, does this look right? I question the sweetened condensed milk

  • 10 oz of dark chocolate
  • 4 oz of unsalted butter
  • 6 oz of sweetened condensed milk
  • 9 oz of biscuits (such as Marie biscuits)
  • 1/4 cup of water
  • 1 tsp of vanilla extract

To start, break the biscuits into small uneven pieces and set them aside. Next, add the chocolate, butter, and sweetened condensed milk into a double boiler and stir continuously until everything is melted and well combined.

Once everything is melted, add the biscuit pieces into the chocolate mixture and mix well to ensure that all the biscuit pieces are well coated. Transfer the mixture into a greased baking pan, spreading it evenly using a spatula.

Next, in a small pan, heat 1/4 cup of water and bring it to a boil. Once boiled, add in the vanilla extract and mix well. Pour this mixture over the chocolate mixture in the baking pan.

Place the baking pan in the fridge and let it chill for at least 3 hours or until the dessert sets completely. Once set, take the dessert out of the pan and cut it into small squares or rectangle shapes.

The Greek Chocolate Mosaiko dessert is perfect to serve for any occasion. You can sprinkle some powdered sugar or cocoa powder on top of each square for added sweetness and decoration.

I have always admired this dessert and thought it was delicious. They serve this at cafes in Greece a lot, sometimes o the house when you get a coffee. I never thought it would be this easy to actually make it! Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Hi! Here in Greece there are different versions of Mosaiko and it's often Lenten (vegan). Some make it with cocoa powder, but I have a recipe

Here in Greece you'll find different versions for Mosaiko, most don't use condensed milk. Some use only cocoa powder, but I have a Mosaiko recipe where I use chocolate, instead. I also have a Mosaiko Cake, which I call Lazy Cake. It's a mosaiko in cake form!
 

Creative ideas for Easter lamb leftovers?

We cooked too much Easter lamb than we needed and have a ton leftover. I am sure I am not the only one! I am brainstorming ways to use the leftovers. Do you guys have anything to add?

1. Gyros with lamb (Tzatziki and all the trimmings!)
2. Lamb sandwiches
3. Stir fries
4. Lamb in rice and tomato sauce
5. Wraps
6. Omelets and scrambles (think steak and eggs, but with Greek flavors and of course lamb instead of steak)

Essential Greek Pantry Staples - Your Recommendations?

I've recently developed a keen interest in Greek cuisine and I'm on a mission to incorporate more of its flavors into my daily cooking. Given the vast knowledge pool here, I thought this would be the perfect place to ask about must-have Greek pantry staples.

From what I gather, olive oil, olives, and feta cheese seem like obvious essentials. But I'm curious about the less obvious, yet equally important ingredients that could elevate my dishes with authentic Greek flavors.

Are there specific herbs, spices, or any other pantry items that are staples in Greek cooking? Additionally, if there are brands or types of these ingredients that you swear by, I'd love to hear about those too.

What do you think of Gyro variations?

There are some gyro shops near me in the United States and they seem to be putting a different spin on the classic dish. There are some variations. What do you guys think of the variations?

I don't recall seeing these variations in Greece, but I could be wrong. Variations such as - gyros made with different meats, like chicken, those made with Greek meatballs, souvlaki, etc.

And what do you think of putting fries in Gyros? I do see that in Greece.

Drinking Olive Oil: Health and Beauty Elixir or Celebrity Fad?

This will I hope generate a healthy discussion amongst the readership here!I have been drinking Pure Olive oil 0.3% Acidity (Not cheap!) for many years, not everyday as I alternate with Pure Organic Sesame oil and Organic first pressed Coconut oil as well....and I also forget to be honest even when all the bottles are staring at me!!😁😁... Since there are many members here I am interested to hear how many drink olive oil and the benefits to their wellbeing?!.... Kalley Mera from Thailand and a heatwave no one can imagine for 5 months without a drop of rain!

Top herbal teas popular in Greece?

Could anyone share insights or recommendations on which herbal teas are the most popular or cherished in Greece? I'm particularly interested in teas that are unique to the region or have a special place in Greek culture and wellness practices.

Also, if you have any suggestions on where I might purchase these teas, especially if they're available online, that would be incredibly helpful! I'm eager to try making some of these teas at home and experiencing a taste of Greek herbal tradition.

Thank you in advance for your help! I’m looking forward to exploring your suggestions and hopefully discovering some new favorite teas.
