One of my favorite desserts, Bionicos (Mexican Fruit Cups), is popular street food, made from seasonal fruit and add-ins; easy to make, and whips up in a few minutes.
Bionico is a popular Mexican dessert that originated in the city of Guadalajara in Jalisco, Mexico, in the early 1990s. 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.
