Bebinca reimagined as creamy, no-bake coconut-cashew layers you can assemble in 15 minutes. This vegetarian dessert skips the traditional seven-layer stovetop technique for a modern TikTok-friendly version that tastes just as rich.

Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix condensed milk, coconut milk, and half the shredded coconut in a bowl until smooth.

  2. Step 2

    Toast the remaining coconut and chopped cashews in a skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until golden and fragrant, about 3 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Warm ghee with cardamom pods in the skillet for 1 minute until the spice blooms and smells rich.

  4. Step 4

    Stir in jaggery until it dissolves, then pour the spiced ghee into the coconut-milk mixture and fold gently.

  5. Step 5

    Layer half the coconut mixture into 4 serving cups or glasses, then top with the toasted coconut-cashew mixture.

  6. Step 6

    Pour remaining coconut mixture over the crunch layer. Chill for 5 minutes or serve at room temperature.
