What syrup is used in Fruit bici bici?

Is Fruit bici bici served frozen or chilled?

Can you prepare Fruit bici bici ahead of time?

Yes, you can cook and chill the starch jelly ahead of time and keep it covered in the refrigerator. Add the ice, syrup, and fruit only when serving, because combining them early makes the dessert watery.

Can you make Fruit bici bici less sweet?

What is Fruit bici bici?

Fruit bici bici is a fruit-topped take on bici bici, a chilled dessert associated with Adana in southern Turkey. It combines soft pieces of starch jelly with finely shaved ice, sweet syrup and fruit. Served in a bowl, it is especially popular as a cooling treat in hot weather.

The ice gives it a crisp, snowy texture, while the jelly is smooth and the syrup sweet; fruit adds a fresher note. In Turkey it is often enjoyed from street and dessert shops, and it also works well after a meal on a warm day. Its energy comes mainly from carbohydrates, with very little fat. For a less-sweet serving, ask for less syrup and let the fruit provide more of the flavour.
