Is This The Worlds Most Expensive Dessert?

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.
