A restaurant in New York has come up with the ultimate treat for chocoholics, but don't turn up unless you've got £12,500 to spare.

At Serendipity 3 in Manhattan's Upper East side, the owner Stephen Bruce has unveiled the pudding, called the Frrrozen Haute Chocolate.

Earning a Guinness Records certificate for the world's most expensive dessert, the sundae includes a blend of 28 rare, exotic cocoas.

The pud is then topped with whipped cream, sprinkled with 23-carat edible gold dust and a La Madeline au Truffle.

Along with the chocolate treat, the eater gets to take home the goblet it is served in, the diamond encrusted 18 carat gold spoon used to eat it and a gold ladies' bracelet.
