Bionico is a yummy Mexican dessert that's like a special fruit salad. It first appeared in the city of Guadalajara, Mexico, in the early 1990s. Imagine a bowl full of fresh, chopped fruits, covered in a sweet and creamy sauce. Then, it's topped with crunchy granola, shredded coconut, and raisins. Sometimes, a drizzle of honey is added too!

You can use almost any fruit you like in Bionico. But it's often made with tasty fruits like papaya, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, juicy strawberries, crisp apples, and sweet bananas. It's a refreshing treat, especially when served cold!

What is the Special Cream?

The word crema is Spanish for "cream." In Bionico, the "crema" is usually a delicious mix. It often combines condensed milk (which is thick and sweet) with sour cream (which adds a little tang). This blend creates a unique flavor that makes Bionico so popular.

There are also other ways to make the cream. Some recipes might use yogurt for a lighter taste. Another fun version of Bionico uses cottage cheese instead of the cream. This cheesy variation is usually served with a drizzle of honey on top, making it a sweet and savory delight!
