BEBINCA

The sunshine state of Goa is home to a number of sweet treats — serradura, dodol, Bolo De Rulao, and bebinca to name a few. And yet it’s only the latter that’s commonly hailed as the Queen of Goan desserts. A technique-focussed pudding including 7 layers which can take up to 8 to 10 hours to make. What makes it the Queen of Goan desserts is the sheer intricacy involved in baking it. Made with locally sourced ingredients, the only ingredients in this nutrition-packed dessert are rice flour, ragi, palm jaggery, coconut, cardamom, cashew nuts, and peanuts.  This multi-layered pudding is intrinsic to Goa’s culinary identity. Bebinca being a perishable item, Montana Confectioners is proud to be one of the first movers in the market to introduce packaged bebinca with a shelf life of 4 months of these 7 well-defined perfectly baked layers, beautiful texture and flavor with high-quality ingredients used. So if you love Goa and wish to reminisce about the beach state, all you need to do is order yourself a pack of Bebinca by Montana!
