LEGENDARY RESTAURANT, SERENDIPITY3, CREATES $250K "DIAMOND" FRRROZEN HOT CHOCOLATE WITH THE ICONIC JEWELRY DESIGNER LORRAINE SCHWARTZ IN HONOR OF VALENTINE'S DAY

Jay Leno once compared Valentine’s Day to extortion, and we should feel awful for the poor sucker who gets roped into going to Serendipity3 this coming Tuesday. The legendary New York City restaurant is offering a very special Diamond Frrrozen Hot Chocolate dessert which will be for sure worth extra bonus points on Instagram and TikTok since it costs $250,000.

The Diamond Frrrozen Hot Chocolate is placed in a Serendipity3 Goblet dripping with Austrian crystals by Kellie DeFries, otherwise known as “Crystal Ninja.” The goblet is filled with the restaurant’s iconic blend of 14 exotic cocoas and topped with a cloud of whipped cream sprinkled with edible “diamond” glitter and 23K edible gold gilded chocolate shavings with gold straws that accompany a gilded chocolate sphere filled with edible diamonds. Placed on top of the Frrrozen Hot Chocolate is a Lorraine Schwartz-designed handmade 18k white gold diamond bypass ring with a 0.69 carat natural fancy pink heart shape diamond and a 0.77 carat natural very light blue pear shape diamond surrounded by 1.15 carats of white diamond pave. It is unclear how many of the Diamond desserts they have available, but I am sure you can call and find out.

Serendipity 3 standard Frrrozen Hot Chocolate has been a favorite of celebrities like Marilyn Monroe, Andy Warhol, Grace Kelly, Cary Grant, Kim Kardashian, Justin Bieber, and even Beyonce and Jay Z’s daughter, Blue Ivy. Of course, none of them got a ring from Lorraine Schwartz, who will also sell you a diamond-encrusted monkey necklace for just $86,700, so if you can’t make it to NYC for Valentine’s Day you can always order a bracelet or necklace online and maybe just drive through the local Dairy Queen for a Blizzard.
