Watch The Birth Of The World's Most Expensive Dessert
Wait, it still needs a diamond
Once upon a time, the most expensive dessert in the world was right here in New York. But now the Brits have gone and put Serendipity 3's $25,000 Haute Chocolate to shame with this $35,000 monstrosity that doesn't even have a name. But why should something so rarefied and elegant be shackled by something so vulgar as a name?
This...thing...is made of:
"Many high quality chocolate from all different continents," though last we checked they weren't including the cost of airfare in the dish
Edible gold, which you can conveniently pick up at Sur La Table for at-home fun!
Champagne caviar, essentially a science experiment gone horribly awry
A two-carat diamond, which will slice your gums up when you chew it
Champagne jelly, the runny leftovers from the aforementioned failed caviar science experiment
And then it's all dumped into an orb supposedly modeled after a Faberge egg. As of right now, it still technically needs a buyer to make it into the Guinness Book of World Records. And whoever decides to drop $35K on this gets the added bonus of seeing their name in the Guinness Book of World Assholes!
