If you thought Black Tap's Freakshakes or the layer cakes on Cheesecake Factory's menu were over-the-top desserts, you haven't seen anything yet. Serendipity 3, the restaurant famous for its frozen hot chocolate, sells a $99 Treasure Chest ice cream sundae at its Las Vegas location, and the Thanksgiving turkey-sized confection redefines decadent.
It's served in a treasure chest made out of chocolate, which is decorated in edible gold paint (because you know everybody who hears "hundred-dollar sundae" immediately responds, "what?! Is it made of gold?!"), then it's piled high with every dessert you can imagine. FYI's Food Porn took us behind the scenes, showing us exactly what goes into it—and why even the biggest sugar fiend probably couldn't conquer this dish alone.
First, the chocolate box is surrounded by a moat of rainbow sprinkles, so you can easily tell which conniving friends dared to drag a spoon toward your booty without asking permission. Next, it's decked out with three slabs of cake so massive they'd make Bruce Bogtrotter break out in a cold sweat. Then, the edge of the box is dotted with whipped cream and Oreo Kisses, which are exactly what you'd imagine: a chocolate-covered Oreo that looks like a massive Hershey Kiss.
And that's not even what's in the box. To see that, check out the video above, then be the judge: Is it worth your hard-earned Benjamin?
Of course, if the dessert seems a little low-brow for your high-rolling tastes, Serendipity 3 does offer an even more expensive sundae—one that will set you back a grand. But it does come with a souvenir Baccarat crystal glass. So there's that.
