Some desserts are so expensive that they are not affordable at all. And we’re not talking about the kind of dessert you can find at your local grocery store; we’re talking about the kind of dessert that costs a million dollars and is only served at the most exclusive restaurants in the world.
But what makes a dessert so expensive? That depends on the restaurant and its chef. Some restaurants have a high overhead, while others charge based on their ingredients and time spent creating each dish. Still, other chefs use tricks like caviar or rare meat cuts in their dishes, making them more expensive than ordinary desserts. Here are our picks for the most expensive desserts in the world:
-
Strawberries Arnaud
Price: $9.85 million
Strawberries Arnaud is a dessert that has existed since the 18th century. It was first made by Pierre Arnaud and his wife, Jeanne, who lived on an island within the city of Paris.

The golden spoon is another highlight of this inviting dish served in Arnaud’s restaurant in New Orleans. -
Three Twins’ Record-Breaking Ice Cream

Three Twins Ice Cream has long been a pioneer in inventing outrageously unique desserts and ice cream flavors. In 2018, the brand announced its very first and extremely lavish dessert experience.
