These mythical sugary behemoths are few and far between, but when they appear they deserve some special attention.

Thanks to intensive and presumably very delicious research from Thomson Lakes and Mountains, we can now reveal what dessert has the most calories.

10. ‘Salted Caramel and Whipped Cream Crêpe’ – Crêperie Bretonne Fleurie, Paris

As the creators of caramel, crêpes and a whole collection of ridiculously unhealthy sweet treats, it’s unsurprising that the French feature in the top 10.

This pancake panacea contains two French crepes, salted caramel sauce, three scoops of caramel ice cream and a load of flaked almonds. Weighing in at 1,386 calories, this is not a pud to be taken lightly.

9. ‘Freakshakes’ – Pâtissez, Canberra

They might be a dime a dozen in the world’s trendier food neighbourhoods, but there’s no doubt that the original freakshakes remain among the most impressive desserts anywhere.

Chocolate milk topped with anything and everything from brownies to pretzels, these 1,466 portions are massive in every sense.

8. ‘Magnum Pancakes’ – My Old Dutch, London

The French aren’t the only ones to have a handy pancake recipe. This dessert, featuring fluffy Dutch-style pancakes, a white Magnum ice cream, Oreo ice cream sandwiches, Nutella and chocolate buttons totals at a stonking 1,490 calories.

This makes it more than enough to intimidate even the most enthusiastic pancake fan.

7. ‘Gelato Burger’ – Tap Gelato, Garden Grove, California

Given that “ice cream” and “burger” are two of the least diet-friendly words on earth, this monstrous sandwich was hardly going to be a health food.

With a total calorie count of 1,543 per portion, the snack comes complete with three ice cream flavours, sweets and gold plating, all inside a deep fried burger bun.

6. ‘Chimney Cones’ – Eva’s Original Chimneys, Toronto

Despite being in Canada, these colossal towers of pastry can actually be traced back to Eastern Europe. Based on Hungarian kürtőskalács, Eva’s chimney cones are stuffed with toffee, caramel, popcorn and pretzel in a 1,648 calorie sugar mountain.

5. ‘Giant Ice Cream’ – Gudhjem Special, Bornholm

It may not have the most imaginative name on the list, but this Danish creation certainly earns its place in the top five. An enormous waffle cone is loaded with ice cream, tea cakes and sprinkles, before being topped with a smaller ice cream. Yours, if you can spare the 2,057 calories.

Stuffing yourself with incomprehensible amounts of sugar is not always a waste of time. For instance, if you can successfully polish off the 2,380 calories, waffle, Oreo, jam, cream and chocolate sauce stack that is the S’moreffles Supreme Challenges in 30 minutes or less, you could net yourself a $50 voucher.

Not to mention, diabetes.

3. ‘Milky Whey Challenge’ – Palačinkarnica Milky, Zagreb

There are exorbitant pancake dishes all over the world. However, the undisputed kings of crepe-y indulgence are undoubtedly the Croatians.

Zagreb’s Milky Whey Challenge is over two kilos of batter, ice cream and chocolate sauce that tips the scales at a mind-boggling 2,388 calories.

2. ‘Supreme Sundaes’ – MO & MOSHI, Bangkok

Since bursting onto the frozen dairy scene, MO & MOSHI have been wowing diners with their array of custom made sweet treats. The most infamous is undoubtedly their “supreme sundae”.

This dessert features 22 scoops of ice cream topped with waffles, brownies, chocolates or anything you care to mention. With a calorie count of 3,587 calories, it takes something serious to pip this dish to the top spot.

1. ‘The Roman Empire’ – Coco Gelato, Cardiff

18 scoops of homemade gelato sit on four hot waffles, drowned in a collection of chocolate bars, fresh fruit, brownies and syrups in a 3,845 calorie testament to sugar.

The Roman Empire has become so beloved that it helped Coco Gelato win the coveted title of best dessert restaurant in Wales. This is one pudding that has the pedigree and the ingredients to earn the title of world’s most indulgent dessert.
