Qumeshtor

A simple Albanian baked milk custard with gentle sweetness

Qumeshtor is a simple, silky Albanian baked milk custard made from milk, eggs, sugar, and a hint of vanilla. Its flavor profile is gentle and comforting, similar to a lightly sweetened flan but with a firmer texture. Served warm or chilled, it reflects Albania’s tradition of rural, dairy-focused home cooking.
