Bienmesabe

Almond, coconut, and cream in layers — a Canary Islands recipe Venezuela adopted and perfected. The name is the review.

Etymology

bienmesabebyen-meh-SAH-beh

Spanish bien + me + sabe ‹ Latin sapere, 'to taste, to know'

'It tastes good to me' — the only dessert whose name is its own review.

A name that reviews itself

Bien me sabe — 'it tastes good to me' — began as a Canary Islands almond cream and sailed to Venezuela, where it became a layered coconut-and-cream institution.

It's the dessert of Venezuelan Sunday tables, and the second nod on this page to the Venezuelan half of our kitchen family.

Cold, creamy, coconut-deep — by the portion.
