Dessert storm

Filed under: Uncategorised — Conor @ 7:21 pm

A New York restaurant called Serendipty 3 has put a new dessert on its menu. It is apparently bulging with top-grade cocoa, edible gold leaf and shavings of truffle. It’s a frozen, slushy mix of 28 cocoas from 14 countries, milk and 5 grams of 24-carat gold (which you’re supposed to eat) topped with whip cream and shavings from a La Madeline au Truffle (no, I’d never heard of it either). It comes in a goblet and is eaten with a golden spoon which diners can take home. Here’s a picture of it. At $25,000 a throw, the Guinness Book of World Records has declared the Frrrozen Haute Chocolate to be the most expensive dessert in the world. Pricewatch has declared it the most stupid dessert in the world and anyone who eats it should go straight to hell. It comes in the same week that a New York chef at the Westin unveiled a $1,000 bagel, topped with white truffle cream cheese and goji berry infused Riesling jelly with golden leaves. Goji berries!!! Reisling jelly! It sounds revolting to me.

    Whatever about the Haute Chocolate, Serendipity 3’s “normal” hot chocolates and sundaes are pure heaven, and relatively sanely priced. Although I did feel a bit stupid making a reservation to stuff my face with chocolate…
