UK Lake District restaurant whips up the world's most expensive pudding. As tempting as this dessert looks, you might just lose your appetite when you see the price tag. Styled like a Faberge Easter egg, the chocolate concoction will set you back an eye-watering £22,000.
It's believed to have battered all previous records courtesy of its lavish list of ingredients, which includes gold, champagne caviar and a two-carat diamond.
The pudding is made of the finest Belgian chocolate flavoured with a combination of peach, orange and whiskey.
It is layered with champagne jelly and a light biscuit joconde and glazed with edible gold leaf.
It is the handiwork of Marc Guibert, head chef at Lindeth Howe Country House Hotel in Windermere, Cumbria, and is being launched for National Chocolate Week, starting today.
Stephen Broughton, managing director of Lindeth Howe, said: "It looks spectacular, tastes incredible and has a price tag to match!"
At £22,000, the dessert easily breaks the world record currently held by New York's Serendipity 3 Restaurant, which was selling its Frrrozen Haute Chocolate last year for a cool £15,730.Theirs contains 24 carat edible Swiss gold and is lined with 23 carat edible gold leaf.
But the British pudding will not take its place in the Guinness Book of World Records until a customer has deep enough pockets to order one - which must be done three weeks in advance.



据英国《每日邮报》10月10日报道，英国湖区酒店做出一款世界上最昂贵的布丁。尽管这款甜点外观诱人，可它的售价却会令人胃口尽失。这款形似法贝格复活节彩蛋的巧克力布丁标出了22，000英镑的天价足以令人瞠目结舌。

据称这款甜点的用料之奢侈足以打破先前的记录。这些配料包括黄金，香槟鱼子酱以及一颗2克拉的钻石。

该布丁由顶级比利时巧克力制成，并混合了蜜桃，柳丁和威士忌的口味。
它的夹层部分有香槟果冻和乔孔达薄饼，表面装饰着可食用的金箔叶子。

这是兰德斯乡村屋酒店（位于坎不利亚都郡，温德梅尔湖旁） 的厨师长，马克-吉伯特的手工作品，并从今天开始在英国巧克力周上展出。

兰德斯乡村屋酒店的常务董事史蒂芬-劳顿说："它不仅外观奢华诱人，口味更是绝妙无比。这个价格足以和它相配！"

这款甜点以22，000英镑的售价轻易地打破了当前由纽约奇缘三号餐厅保持的世界纪录。纽约奇缘三号餐厅餐厅在去年曾以15，730英镑的天价售出了一款金箔巧克力。这款金箔巧克力配以24克拉可食用的瑞士黄金，并洒满了23克拉可食用的金叶子。

但是除非有财力雄厚的顾客买下它，否则这款需要提前三周预定的英国布丁还不能被载入吉尼斯世界纪录。
