The Easter monkey is a typical sweet of the Aragonese, Catalan, Valencian regions and even some areas of Murcia. It symbolizes that Lent and your abstinences are over.
Traditionally it was the godfather who gave it to his godson on Easter Sunday and it is customary to take it during snacks on Easter days. I still remember when my grandparents always gave me chocolate eggs.
Here in Madrid our custom was to eat together and have a delicious dessert or snack French toast.
This has been my first monkey. I have prepared it after your requests on the web and the Facebook group. I've had a great time making it and especially decorating it. I think that in the next few years I will get a taste for it and I will encourage myself to improve them. What do you think!

How beautiful it has been and if you have had a great time on top of it ... And you better have a good time tasting it, hahaha ... I'll take a piece from you.
little kisses
It is very good. This afternoon we have eaten it with some relatives and it has been very successful and the girls delighted with it.
Hey.
It looks very beautiful.
Although I have to say that the monas in Valencia are not like that. the custom here is pastries with eggs.
You are right, I meant with my comment that the Mona de Pascua is a typical sweet of those regions but each area is elaborated in a different way. This I think is more from the area of Catalonia.
Hello, Elena and Silvia I discovered your blog a few days ago and I love your recipes and I am already recommending it to my friends… ..
This weekend I have the ingredients to make several of your recipes.
thanks, kisses
Welcome Carmen !!, I'm glad you like our recipes. You will tell us what your family looks like when they try them.
All the best
Go beautiful Mona, I will try to do it I do not know if it will come out like yours, but surely it will be delicious. Happy Easter. All the best.
It is simple to make, a delicious sponge cake filled with jam and covered with yolk cream. Although the cake has burned a lot, but when tasting it is great.
Hello, what does it look like? I want to ask you with the thermomix 21 it's the same and another question, the yolk on top burned them like Catalan cream, thanks ……………
With the Tm-21, you can also prepare it like this. The yolk cream has occurred to me to burn it as you say but it does not need to be done. Do it as you like the most.
How beautiful you have left, I don't usually see her here, but she gladly took a bite out of that cute ha ha
It's the first one I do, but looking around a bit, I came up with this one and it hasn't been bad, I think. The flavor was very good and the chocolate figures were very good. I love them, I look like a girl.
How beautiful it has been! How lucky that I'm going to your house tomorrow, hahaha. I don't know if there will be anything left, but I'm sure I try something delicious, as always!
But what a nose they have some! whenever I do something rich they have an excuse to show up at home.
HELLO!! WHAT PAINTS HAVEEEEE…. I'LL MAKE IT FOR SUNDAY…. BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE ALMOND MEAL. WHERE DO YOU SELL IT? IS IT ESSENTIAL ?? 'THANK YOU GIRLS !!
Angela, you just have to pulverize almonds at progressive speed 5-10 and when they are as powder you already have it. It's the same if you ask for the chickpea flour recipe.
thanks girls !! but the almonds are the laminated ones, or the raw almonds ???? Thanks again . And when the flour is from chickpeas, what chickpeas are used?
The almonds in the decoration are laminated, those in the flour are raw and the chickpea can be of any type.
