You don't just eat this one. The $25,000 Frrrozen Haute Chocolate at Serendipity 3 blends 28 cocoas, 14 of them among the world's most expensive, with five grams of edible 23-karat gold, and arrives in a goblet lined with still more gold. The diamond-set gold spoon is yours to keep.

A pricier dessert exists, but it doesn't hold the record. Arnaud's in New Orleans sells Strawberries Arnaud for $9.85 million, though nearly all of that is the 10.06-carat blue diamond ring that comes with it. Order the same strawberries without the ring and they cost $13.
