First, 23 carat gold leaves are used to line a crystal goblet, which is essentially the container in which the dessert is served. It is believed to be the same goblet that is used in the Vatican. Next, Tahitian vanilla ice cream and Madagascar vanilla are added. Then, there is a topping of the most expensive and rare dark chocolate in the world — which is believed to come from Italy — along with candied fruits from Paris.
Later, a passion fruit-flavoured caviar is added along with a gold-coated sugar flower as finishing touches to the mouth-watering dessert, which looks more like a piece of art than an edible substance.
Netizens have reacted to the video in the most amusing manner; check out these comments:
“So now someone just needs to make this twice as big to beat the record,” someone wrote.
“I can bet a thousand dollars it doesn’t taste all that great,” another person commented.
“I swear, just put a Louis V[uitton] bag on top and call it expensive. Why [are you] making this harder,” another comment read.
