From NYTimes (http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/11/07/25000-for-a-hot-chocolate/):
What would you do with $25,000? Buy a new Toyota Camry? Pay for six months at Harvard?
Instead, how about some really fancy chocolate?
The people at the Serendipity 3 restaurant on East 60th Street announced today that they would offer a $25,000 dessert called the Frrrozen Haute Chocolate. The item, a high-end version of the venerable restaurant’s Frrrozen Hot Chocolate, was declared the world’s most expensive dessert today by Guinness World Records, joining the august ranks of publicity-stunt items like the Most Expensive Pie ($14,260), Most Expensive Cocktail ($1,431) and the Most Expensive Frittata ($1,000).
Joe Calderone, a spokesman for the Midtown restaurant, said the dessert is a mix of cocoas and milk frozen to a slushylike consistency. But it does not stop there. Five grams of 24-carat gold are mixed in; then, the chocolate is topped with whipped cream and — what else? — more gold. No ordinary cherry tops this sundae; instead, it is garnished with La Madeline au Truffe.
The whole mass is served in a goblet surrounded with a crown made, of course, of gold. And diamonds. If that is not enough, the spoon is gold, too.
The restaurant, which started to offer the item today, has not yet sold one, Mr. Calderone said. He said the lead time for an order is two weeks.
“Everything is created for the order,” he explained. “The truffle has to be flown in from France; we order the cocoas from around the world; we have the gold flown in from Switzerland, so it takes time to put it together.”
