Bebinca is a traditional Goan sweet dish that locals usually make around Christmas. It is a festive dessert but can be available in most eateries all the year round. Also known as bibik, bebinca is all the best things about a pudding and a cake blended into one. It looks like a cake with multiple layers and is an absolute melt-in-your-mouth goodness of a dessert.

Dodol Is Similar To A Regular Halwa

Another famous dessert that you should not miss when you are in Goa is dodol. For people who are having it for the first time, it might look like your usual halwa in a plate at the first glance. However, when it comes to taste, there’s nothing like it. Dodol has a consistency of that of a jelly and is made with coconut jiggery and coconut milk. The texture is creamy, rich and thick. One bite of it and you will keep coming back for more!

Serradura Is A Layered Dessert That Looks As Fancy As It Tastes

Goan locals do have their own concocted desserts, but what’s food if there’s no blending of cultures, right? Surprisingly, the Goan cuisine also has certain sweet dishes that cover flavours and recipes from other cultures as well. Serradura is one such brilliant dessert of Goa. Also known as the sawdust pudding, serradura is a Goan dessert that the locals borrowed from the Portuguese cuisine, more specifically, from Macau. The dessert is made almost in a tiramisu style. It has layers of tea biscuits and whipped cream, all of which combine into a pudding of sorts. When in Goa, this is a must try!
