What is Bienmesabe?
This, my friends, is my favorite dessert of all time: Bienmesabe!! Bienmesabe is a traditional Venezuelan dessert made with sliced cake, layered with coconut cream, and topped with meringue. If you are wondering, the name translates to “tastes good to me”. And believe me … it lives up to its name!! I chose to make a no-bake version. You know I love a fast and easy recipe. Instead of using sliced cake, I decided to cut time in the kitchen, and I used ladyfingers. This recipe is quick and easy to make because it’s a no-bake recipe! It’s tremendously rich, sweet, and moist. And its delicious coco-nutty cream is to die for. It’s made mainly with coconut milk and La Lechera sweetened condensed milk – a marriage made in heaven – among a few other ingredients. You can also make a single-serving sized portion, like this cutie down here ↓↓↓

Freezing: While bienmesabe can be frozen, it might alter the texture, so I don’t recommend it.
