BOGOTA - A Colombian cooking school has concocted a "love dessert" made with passion fruit — and Viagra.

Student chefs at the state culinary school in Quindio province wouldn't give the complete ingredients but say it contains the active ingredient in Viagra.

The pudding-like dessert is garnished with whipped cream and chocolate, and served in a parfait glass.

Sebastian Gomez, one of the creators, says the idea was to reinterpret the blue pill into a new kind of aphrodisiac.

Gomez said the recipe describes how much Viagra to safely dissolve into the dessert.

The dessert is, of course, not for sale as Viagra is a prescription drug.

The students presented the dessert at "Gastronomy 2009" show in Bogota.
