The world’s most expensive dessert has been created, with an eye-popping price tag of £22,000.
Created in the style of a Faberge Easter egg, the extravagant chocolate pudding has broken the world record for most expensive dessert thanks to its list of expensive ingredients which includes gold, champagne caviar and a two-carat diamond.
According to the UKPA, the pudding is layered with champagne jelly and a light biscuit joconde, finished with bitter dark chocolate, and glazed with edible gold leaf.
The decadent dessert was created by Marc Guibert, head chef at Lindeth Howe Country House Hotel in the UK.
Launched for National Chocolate Week, it’s made with four different types of the finest Belgian chocolate flavoured with a combination of peach, orange and whiskey.
Stephen Broughton, managing director of Lindeth Howe, said: “Marc has used all of his culinary talents to whip up a truly incredible concoction of chocolate, champagne and gold leaf, all topped off with a diamond. It looks spectacular, tastes incredible and has a price tag to match!”
The £22,000 dessert breaks the world record held by New York’s Serendipity 3 Restaurant, which has a Frrrozen Haute Chocolate priced at US$25,000.
But although this latest creation easily surpasses the Frrrozen Haute Chocolate as the world’s most expensive dessert, it will not take its place in the Guinness Book of World Records until a customer has actually ordered one, which must be done three weeks in advance.
