Serendipity 3, New
York City - $1,000 Golden Opulence Sundae
Perhaps the most well known of all these dishes is the
$1,000 Golden Opulence Sundae at New
York’s Serendipity 3. First created in 2004 for the
restaurant’s 50th anniversary, the Golden Opulence involves three scoops of
Tahitian vanilla ice cream infused with Madagascar vanilla beans, topped in 23K
edible gold leaf, sprinkled with a couple of expensive and rare chocolates?
Plus there’s the candied fruits, gold dragets, chocolate truffles and bowl of
caviar. It’s sold in a Baccarat Harcourt goblet with an 18K gold spoon, naturally.
About 200 of these have been sold in the nine years since it was created. These
sundaes require 48 hour advance reservation because the ice cream and caviar
are flown in.
