COLOMBO, Sri Lanka – This dessert may be a little too rich for you, but you’re probably not rich enough for it. A Sri Lankan resort is charging $14,500 for what it calls the world’s most expensive dessert, a fruit infused confection complete with a chocolate sculpture and a gigantic gemstone.

“The Fortress Stilt Fisherman Indulgence” was created to give visitors at The Fortress resort in the coastal city of Galle a one-of-a-kind experience, said the hotel’s public relations manager, Shalini Perera.

The dessert has to be specially ordered, Perera said. Though the hotel has gotten calls about it from as far away as Japan, she said, no one has yet forked over the money to try it.

They’ll probably never sell one, but it’s a great way to get publicity.

    I have that beat…
    I stuff $10,000 in $100 bills in an ice cream bowl, crumble an Oreo cookie onto it, put a cherry on top of it, and charge $14,501 for my ‘deeeluxe deesert’.
    Can I have my 15 minutes of fame now?
    Next up, a car with a dollop of whipped cream being called the world most expensive dessert.

    The “one of a kind” experience of being a fool and being parted from your money…

    Usually I think many of cranktastic replies here are knee-jerk… Today, please allow me to jerk my knee right along with you all. This is one bonehead dessert.
