As an old saying goes, “Always save room for dessert“. But have you heard that there are desserts we might have to save money for just to enjoy? It’s true! Just take a look at 5 of the world’s most expensive desserts:

Brownie Extraordinaire ($1,000)

Dubbed as “The Most Expensive Chocolate Brownie”, the Brownie Extraordinaire can only be found in the Crystal Menu of Brulee in Atlantic City, USA. Aside from being a menu staple, Brownie Extraordinaire is also a part of Tropicana Resort and Casino’s Deluxe Proposal Package (worth $15,000).

What’s so special about this luxury brownie? Well, the decadent dark chocolate brownie with Italian hazelnuts is not what makes it expensive. It is actually the $750 St. Louis crystal atomizer filled with a shot of rare 1996 Quinto do Noval Nacional port wine that makes it a part of this list.

Stilt Fisherman Indulgence ($14,500)

Who knew that such a hidden treasure can be found in Sri Lanka? This dessert is not just delicious, it is also an artistic depiction of a popular tradition in the country. The Stilt Fisherman Indulgence includes a fisherman carved out of chocolate, with an 80 carat aquamarine stone near the bottom of the stilt. This luxurious dessert is exclusively served at Wine3 Restaurant at The Fortress Resort and Spa.

Here are some of the ingredients in The Stilt Fisherman Indulgence:

Faberge Easter Egg ($35,000)

Master Chef Marc Guilbert of the Lindeth Howe Country House Hotel in Cumbria was inspired by the Russian bejeweled eggs, particularly a design made by Theo Faberge.

The golden masterpiece is actually a pudding cake made from 4 kinds of Belgian chocolates, dark chocolate, strawberry caviar, gold flakes, champagne, and flavors of orange, peach and whiskey. And oh, it is topped with a hand-carved flower with a 2-carat diamond inside.

Strawberries Arnaud ($1.4 Million)

New Orlean’s French Quarter gives a whole new meaning to the popular flavor strawberries and cream. See, Strawberries Arnaud is more than just a bowl of strawberries, mint and cream–it is also served with a 4.7 carat  pink diamond ring once owned by English financier Sir Ernest Cassel.

But it is not just the pink rock that makes this dessert so luxurious. Strawberries Arnaud also comes with a $25,000 Charles X Crystal Cave Set port wine, wine servers and live jazz music.
