That's haute

New York's Serendipity 3 is a famous dessert boutique located on the upper east side, known for its famous frozen hot chocolate. Their menu is incredible and everyone from Bill Clinton to Paula Abdul visits the joint.

And then they outdid their $1,000 Golden Opulence Sundae this week by unveiling the the Frrozen Haute Chocolate (a playon the haute couture), their $25,000 dessert drink. They also set the Guinness World Record for most expensive dessert, in the spirit of GWR Day yesterday.

So why is it 25 gs?? Well it's a blend of 28 cocoas, including 14 of the most expensive and exotic from around the globe, BUT--the thing is is infused with 5 grams of edible 23-karat gold and topped with whipped cream covered with more gold and a side of La Madeline au Truffle from Knipschildt Chocolatier, which sells for $2,600 a pound. It's also served in a goblet lined with edible gold, and at the base of the goblet is an 18-karat gold bracelet with 1 carat of white diamonds.

And don't forget to eat your unnecessarily lavish dessert with the golden spoon decorated with white and chocolate-colored diamonds, which can also be taken home.

...Is this serious? You're basically paying to drink out of the Holy Grail and eat your way through chocolate to get a diamond bracelet.

Oh, and be sure to give the staff of Serendipity 3 at least 48 hours notice if you plan on stopping in. This waste of 28 paychecks takes time to craft.
