Have you seen the Punch the Monkey-shaped popsicle yet? It’s a creation that pays tribute to Punch, a macaque who lives at the Ichikawa Zoo and whose story recently went viral.
It’s an ice pop that captures the character’s likeness and his now-famous stuffed animal. We’ll tell you where you can find this unique treat and how much it costs.
Everything you need to know about the Punch monkey popsicle
The culinary project Ternufood is behind this edible work of art: the Punch Popsicle. The figure recreates the little monkey hugging his small stuffed animal with a surprising detail, but the best part is its flavor. The base is made with triple chocolate, an intense and creamy blend, while its interior holds a very Mexican secret: it’s filled with pieces of concha.
The combination of smooth chocolate with bits of this sweet bread creates a texture and flavor that resonate deeply with local tastes. It’s the perfect dessert to enjoy during a stroll—and, of course, for a photo.
If you want to try it, Ternufood sets up a stand inside the Ramón López Velarde Garden. Take note, because you can only find it on Saturdays and Sundays, from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
This treat costs $40. So now you have a plan for your next walk—a chance to try a dessert that’s pure creativity. We recommend arriving early because they sell out fast.
