Does this dessert really resemble a baboon's behind? We can speak of some similarities here; after all, the name didn't come from nowhere. It has become so ingrained in Polish culinary culture that there's no point in arguing about comparing a monkey's rear to a dessert. We just prepare baboon butt. Sensitive individuals may stay silent about the name. I am a huge 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, it is exactly 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 that surrounds the cold ice cream is a combination of whipped cream, homogenized cheese, and jelly. It seems classic and simple, but ultimately, instead of a plain dessert, we can present guests with baboon butt cake. And how can you resist that?
