The Most Expensive Ice Cream

For some reason, rainy days such as what we are experiencing in the past few days makes me crave for my favorite comfort food - ICE CREAM. Pretty weird I know with the cool weather I shouldn't be craving for something cold. But then you get this cozy feeling on a rainy day that makes you want to curl on a sofa and what better way to indulge yourself than to eat your favorite comfort food.

Do you know that the world's most expensive ice cream is called Golden Opulence Sundae and is being served at the Manhattan restaurant, Serendipity. It costs $ 1,000 and you need to reserve it 48 hours in advance. It was launched by Serendipity as a publicity stint for their 50th Anniversary and they are very successful in this because they were included in the Guinness Book of World Records as the most expensive ice cream sundae in the world!

According to most-expensive.net, Serendipity describes the Golden Opulence Sundae as follows: “5 scoops of the richest Tahitian vanilla bean ice cream infused with Madagascar vanilla and covered in 23K edible gold leaf, the sundae is drizzled with the world’s most expensive chocolate, Amedei Porceleana, and covered with chunks of rare Chuao chocolate, which is from cocoa beans harvested by the Caribbean Sea on Venezuela’s coast. The masterpiece is suffused with exotic candied fruits from Paris, gold dragets, truffles and Marzipan Cherries. It is topped with a tiny glass bowl of Grand Passion Caviar, an exclusive dessert caviar, made of salt-free American Golden caviar, known for its sparkling golden color. It’s sweetened and infused with fresh passion fruit, orange and Armagnac. The sundae is served in a baccarat Harcourt crystal goblet with an 18K gold spoon to partake in the indulgence, served with a petite mother of pearl spoon and topped with a gilded sugar flower by Ron Ben-Israel.

Now that is SINFUL. Am I willing to spend $ 1,000 for an ice cream sundae.... NOT!
