A HEARTBROKEN businessman has tucked into the world's most expensive dessert, which he bought for $33,500 to cheer himself up after he was dumped by his girlfriend.
Diamond merchant Carl Weininger, 60, splashed out on the extravagant pudding as a "pick-me-up" after she ended their three-year relationship.
The chocolate-laced pudding was styled like a Faberge egg and its list of ingredients included edible gold, champagne and caviar.
It contained a gold bracelet and spoon set and the cherry on top was a two-carat diamond.
Weininger took the pudding to the Aviators' Ball, at the Sofitel Hotel at London's Heathrow airport, where lucky guests sampled the luxury dessert.
Each mouthful cost about $1200 and the whole dessert took just 15 minutes to devour.
Weininger from Rugby, Warwickshire, said he bought the pudding to cheer himself up.
"Buying the dessert was a real boost for my morale," he said.
"I was dumped earlier this year and felt this could be a decent pick-me-up.
"I'm not much of a chocolate lover myself but all the women who tasted it said 'Wow'. It was absolutely delicious, as you would expect."
The pudding's maker is expecting to be recognised by Guinness World Records having smashed the previous record, which cost a mere $18,000.
