The One Million Peso Dessert

This, my friends, is the 'Frrozen Haute Chocolate’ and it costs a one million eighty-seven thousand four hundred sixty-two pesos and fifty centavos


or to put it more simply: $25,000.

I know what you're thinking.

#1: Where is this made?
At the Serendipity-3 Restaurant in the Upper East side of Manhattan.

#2: What's it made of?
"It's a fine blend of 28 cocoas, including 14 of the most expensive and exotic from all around the world.... complemented by a small box of Knipschildt chocolate truffles which sell for £1,300 (115,804.77 PHP) per lb."

The dessert is adorned with 5 grams of edible 23-karat gold and is dished up in a goblet lined with edible gold. The base of the goblet is an 18-karat gold bracelet with 1 carat of white diamonds. (Not edible) The dessert is eaten with a gold spoon decorated with white and chocolate-colored diamonds, which can also be taken home. (Also not edible)

Interestingly enough, this is the uber-souped-up-value-added-upgraded-pimped-out version of the 'Frrozen Hot Chocolate' which sells for a WHOPPING $8.50 (PhP 369.75).

#3: So why make it?
In not so many words: Because they can.

But wait, HERE'S THE BEST PART:

Almost a week after the unveiling of the decadent treat, this comes up.

As the great Morpheus once said: "Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony."
