A Good Reason Not to Order the World's Most Expensive Dessert

Filed under: Dining

New York eatery Serendipity 3 has done its best to stay in the news with opulent desserts, but the PR folks are definitely not going to like the publicity they are getting today. The store, which we mentioned just last week for its creation of the $25,000 Frozen Haute Chocolate, the world's most expensive dessert, was closed Wednesday night after failing its second inspection in just a month. The findings are a bit stomach-turning; an inspector found a live mouse and mouse droppings, flies and more than 100 live cockroaches.

Serendipity 3 Creates The World's Most Expensive Dessert

For the last few years, the Golden Opulence, a $1,000 ice cream sundae, has reigned supreme as the priciest dessert at Serendipity 3 in New York. Now Stephen Bruce, owner of Serendipity 3, has gotten himself a Guinness world record for the most expensive dessert. The dessert emporium teamed up with jeweler Euphoria New York to create the "Frrozen Haute Chocolate," a $25,000 chocolate sundae. The new dessert is made from a blend of 28 cocoas from all around the world and is infused with five grams of edible 23-karat gold and served in a goblet lined with edible gold. It is topped with whipped cream, more gold and a side of La Madeline au Truffle from Knipschildt Chocolatier, which sells for $2,600 a pound. It even comes with souvenirs, an 18K gold bracelet with a carat's worth of diamonds that rests at the base of the goblet and a gold spoon set with white and chocolate-colored diamonds. It makes yesterday's $1,000 bagel look positively simple by comparison.
