The Fortress, a world-class luxury hotel in the coastal city of Galle, Sri Lanka, claims to serve one of the world's most expensive desserts at a staggering 14,500 dollars per serving. The dessert, called the "Fortress Fisherman's Delight," differs from ordinary desserts in that it is accompanied by a giant gemstone.

The dessert was a gold-leafed, Italian-style cassata fruit cake topped with Irish cream, accompanied by candied mango and pomegranate, and topped with a champagne egg nectar. Garnished alongside the dessert was a fisherman carved from chocolate and tied to a post, reflecting traditional fishing in the region, and an 80-carat aquamarine stone.

Sharini Pereira, the hotel's public relations manager, said the dessert would be "one of a kind" for guests.

Pereira said the dessert needs to be ordered in advance. While the hotel has received calls from all over the world, no one has actually placed a reservation yet.
