Bienmesabe, Spanish for it tastes good to me, is a sweet Spanish dessert made primarily from honey, egg yolk and ground almonds, also popular in the cuisine of the Canary Islands and described as influenced by Moorish cuisine. Its consistency varies by preparation, ranging from a sticky sauce or thick cream to a meringue, custard or cake, and well chilled versions can take on a toffee like texture. Some versions add sugar, lemon zest, cinnamon or sweet wine.

Its origin dates back to the European era of the conquest of the islands (in the fifteenth century), brought by Spanish settlers, who in turn respond to Arab traditions spread in Spain during the Muslim occupation over seven centuries.
