Bionico

Bionico is a popular Mexican dessert that originated in the city of Guadalajara, in the state of Jalisco. It is a fruit salad that typically includes a variety of fresh fruits chopped into small pieces, covered with a sweet cream sauce, and topped with granola, shredded coconut, and raisins.

History

The Bionico was first created in the 1990s in Guadalajara. The name "Bionico" translates to "Bionic" in English, and it was named as such because it was originally marketed as a healthy, energy-boosting snack. Despite its high sugar content, it is still often considered a healthier dessert option due to its fruit content.

Ingredients

The fruits used in a Bionico can vary, but commonly used fruits include banana, apple, strawberry, melon, and papaya. The sweet cream sauce is typically made from condensed milk, sour cream, and Mexican crema. The granola, shredded coconut, and raisins are added as toppings, although other toppings such as nuts or honey may also be used.

Preparation

To prepare a Bionico, the fruits are first washed and chopped into small pieces. The sweet cream sauce is then prepared by mixing together the condensed milk, sour cream, and Mexican crema. The chopped fruits are placed in a bowl or dish, and the sweet cream sauce is poured over the top. The Bionico is then finished with a sprinkling of granola, shredded coconut, and raisins.

Variations

There are many variations of the Bionico, with some versions including additional ingredients such as yogurt, honey, or nuts. Some versions may also use different types of fruit, or different types of granola or other toppings.
