Posts Tagged ‘Golden Opulence Sundae’

A precious as it sounds this after meal treat is more than just a guilty pleasure. It costs $1000! No wonder is it dubbed as the world’s most expensive sundae.

While filling my bucket list of must-try gastromomic delights, I saw this on Travel and Living Channel

It was created to celebrate Serendipity’s 50th Anniversay in 2006. Yeah, 50 = gold!

So what it is made of? Let me break it down for you:

“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.”  (source: www.boingboing.net)

Imagine yourself slipping gold down to your throat while thinking of $1000 that could pay your rent for four months. Would not you feel guilty after?
