The 'Cherpumple' Is The Horribly Wonderful 4th Of July Frankenstein Dessert You Deserve [VIDEO]

Are your normal, boring, run-of-the-mill holiday desserts just not cutting it anymore? Is your family falling asleep at the table as you bring a plate of cookies out for the fifth straight Fourth of July party?

Here's something that will wake them up -- the Cherpumple.

Brainstormed by the wacky mind of entertainer and test kitchen chef Charles Phoenix, this monstrosity is a combination of three different kinds of pies and cakes. If that's not enough for you, they're all stacked on top of each other.

"The Cherpumple, a three layer cake, each with a pie baked into it (CHERry, PUMkpkin, and appLE), is an original recipe from the Charles Phoenix Test Kitchen and the most talked about dessert to come along in years.

The Cherbluble replaces the autumnal pumpkin pie with a BLUeberry, the perfect patriotic compliment to the oh-so Americana CHERry and appLE."

I, for one, am not brave enough to attempt to make such a crazy culinary creation. You can get the recipe and instructions at Phoenix's website HERE.

What are some of the weirdest holiday desserts YOU'VE ever made? Let us know in the comments below...
