Have you ever tried Bionicos (Mexican Fruit Cups)? It’s a delicious Mexican dessert that became popular in the city of Guadalajara in Jalisco, Mexico, in the early 1990s. Basically, it’s a fruit salad filled with a variety of fruits that are chopped up into small cubes, then covered with crema and topped off with granola, shredded coconut, raisins, and sometimes honey. You should give it a try!
I highly recommend using your favorite fruits. If they are not in season, just use seasonal fruits. Be a little adventurous and try as many fruit combinations as possible.
