The Grand Opulence Sundae at Serendipity
Posted by Bob Bulmer on Sun 8th August 2010 at 09:43 PM, Filed in Luxury Food
The £630 (approx $800) Grand Opulence Sundae is on offer at New York’s famous Serendipity 3 restaurant and is likely to be ranked as one of the most expensive puddings in the world.
Although it is a little shy of the £15,730 (approx $20,000) Frrrozen Haute Chocolate also served up at Serendipity..
The sundae has been dreamt up by one of Serendipity’s specialist chefs and is available at 48 hours notice. So get your request in early!
Joe Calderone, 48 year old spokesperson for Serendipity said:
“We produced the Grand Opulence to celebrate our 50th anniversary in 2005. We wanted something to match out golden anniversary, so based our sundae around that precious metal. Each one is made with three scoops of the richest Tahitian vanilla ice cream, which we infuse with Madagascar vanilla pods. The sundae is held within a baccarat Harcourt crystal goblet and lined with 23 carat edible gold leaf. We drizzle in the world’s rarest and expensive chocolate Amedei Porceleana, which is harvested from Venezuela and covered in chunks of Chuao chocolate. We add candied fruits from Paris and the sundae is topped with Grand Passion Caviar, which is salt free American caviar infused with passion fruit, orange and Armagnac.”
Umm delicioussss.!
