If you are like me and have a sweet tooth, the most eagerly
awaited part of a meal is the dessert. Many are quite economical, but some of
the nicer ones are expensive.
The cheapest is perhaps a 70 cent packet of flavoured and
coloured jelly added to water and set in the fridge. The most expensive? How
about a price tag of $34,684
.
The extravagant chocolate pudding is believed to have broken
all previous records thanks to its pricey list of ingredients which includes
gold, champagne caviar and a two-carat diamond.
The dessert was created by Marc Guibert, head chef at
Lindeth Howe Country House Hotel in Windermere,
Cumbria. England. Guibert
created the dessert to mark the start of the National Chocolate Week.
Inspired by the Faberge Easter egg, Guibert used four
different types of the finest Belgian chocolate flavoured with a combination of
peach, orange and whiskey, and the most expensive edible gold leaves to create
a dessert that is a beautiful as it’s exquisite in taste and, last but not
least, mind-boggling expensive.
It is layered with champagne jelly and a light biscuit
joconde, finished with bitter dark chocolate glazed with edible gold leaf. It
It comes decorated with a gorgeous 2-carat diamond, but also
with edible gold leaves. (You can’t eat the diamond.)
The dessert creation is still to be in the Guinness Book of
Records as someone has to buy it first. However, that someone must order it
three weeks in advance for it to be made, and only afterwards get to indulge in
it.
