Bionico is popular Mexican dessert that originated in the city of Guadalajara in Jalisco, Mexico, in the early 1990s.[1][2]
It is essentially a fruit salad consisting of a variety of fruits chopped up into small cubes, drenched with crema and topped off with granola, shredded coconut, raisins and sometimes honey.[1][3] Any kind of fruit can be used, but it is most commonly made with papaya, cantaloupe, honeydew, strawberries, apples and banana.
The crema
The word crema is spanish for cream,[4] in this case the "crema" is usually a mix of condensed milk and sour cream, although there are many different recipes[1][3] (some include the use of natural yogurt).[5]
There is another variation of the salad which uses cottage cheese instead of the Crema, this variations is usually served with honey drizzled on top.[6]
