If money isn't an issue, than I've found the best dessert.
It has succulent looking cherries scattered throughout a giant scoop piled to the top of an enticing waffle cone.
And best of all, when it sells, hundreds of disadvantaged children will receive a million dollars.
Talk about more cream for your green.
Last June, Bruster's Ice Cream teamed up with Lazare Kaplan International Inc., a worldwide diamond distributor, to create the world's most expensive cone.
The 152.16 carat creation, unveiled in Las Vegas in June, was designed to look like Bruster's cherry vanilla ice cream. It was made using white and yellow gold and three types of diamonds.
Biting into this gem would cause a lot more damage than a brain freeze.
The idea behind the cone, besides, of course, to promote the two companies, was also to sell this shiny scoop for a million dollars to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS), the oldest and largest youth mentoring program in the U.S.
It's a cone for a cause.
The diamond dessert is currently on tour, and will be shone in Philadelphia this weekend, its last U.S. stop. before going overseas.
According to their Web site, Bruster's, founded in 1989 in Bridgewater, Pennsylvania, features over 140 different homemade ice cream recipes, and each of the 260 stores offers up to 40 at one time.
Sadly, Colorado isn't home to even one of them.
However, I have started saving for my own diamond cone.
And I am accepting donations.

Sorry you don't get to see the Diamond Cone first-hand. Apparently the obscenely wealthy share your fascination with all things ice creamy, including a diamond replicant of the true treasure: a scoop of vanilla in a cake cone.
