CONSILVA | PINASUGBO / by Sweet Cravings

Pinasugbo, also known as consilva, is a cherished Filipino dessert originating from the Western Visayas region.  Its core ingredient is the saba banana, thinly sliced and deep-fried to a perfect crisp. These crispy banana slices are then generously coated in caramelized sugar, creating a rich, sweet glaze with a beautiful shine.  A sprinkle of sesame seeds adds a delightful nutty flavor and a contrasting texture that complements the sweet coating.  Traditionally, pinasugbo is sold in convenient white paper cones, making it a portable and easy-to-eat snack.
