It brings smiles to faces because of the taste, which undeniably makes people happy, and because of the name. How can you not chuckle when the hostess serves "baboon butt"?

Does this dessert resemble a baboon's behind? We can speak of some similarities here; the name didn't come from nowhere. It has become so ingrained in culinary traditions that there's no point in comparing a monkey's rear to a dessert. We prepare baboon butt. Sensitive individuals may stay silent about the name. I am a massive fan of this dessert, but when there are many guests at the table, I prefer to swap "butt" with "behind."

Baboon butt cake: A fun way to treat guests

And what is baboon butt? In the animal world – what the name suggests. In the world of desserts, however, it's a real phenomenon. Here, we are dealing with a beloved no-bake cake with the addition of... cold ice cream. Without cold ice cream, there is no baboon butt, so make sure you shop properly.

The base is cookie-like and simple, like in many other similar cakes. Meanwhile, the mixture surrounding the ice cream combines whipped cream, homogenized cheese, and jelly. It seems classic, simple, but ultimately, instead of a plain dessert, we can present guests with baboon butt cake. And how can you resist that?

Preparation:

  1. Crumble the biscuits very finely and then mix them with the melted butter.

  3. Dissolve the lemon jelly in the boiling water and set it aside to cool down.
  4. Whip the well-chilled cream until stiff. Then, gradually add spoonfuls of vanilla cheese while continuously mixing at medium speed.
  5. Add the cooled (cold!) jelly to the cream at the end of whipping.
  6. Place the warm ice cream cones on the cookie base. Pour the prepared mixture over them.
  7. Smooth out the mixture. Put the cake in the refrigerator for about 3 hours.
