Chef's Tips

Adjust sweetness: Taste the salpicón before adding the ice cream and adjust the sweetness by adding more condensed milk if needed.

Chill the soda: For an extra refreshing treat, chill the soda and the fruits before preparing the salpicón.

Customize your fruits: Feel free to substitute or add other tropical fruits like lulo, passion fruit, or granadilla.

Add some crunch: Some people like to add crushed ice or a sprinkle of granola for added texture.
