Another $1,000 dessert?Posted Feb 15th 2006 1:57PM by Nick VagnoniFiled under: Dessert, Restaurants, Trends, On the BlogsI have to say, this whole super-opulent dessert trend is wearing a little thin. Maybe
I'm alone on this though, since Serendipity in New York City supposedly
sells one of their $1,000 Grand Opulence Sundaes every month. Maybe a little credit is due here, too, since they've
been offering the dessert for more than a year. What do you get with your four-figure dish of ice cream? Well, there's
Tahitian vanilla ice cream covered with gold leaf, a drizzle of "the world's most expensive chocolate" Amedei
Porceleana, candied fruits from Paris, gold dragets (dragees?) and a golden dessert caviar, among other trimmings. If
that seems like a lot of gold, it's because the sundae was made for Serendipity's 50th (golden) anniversary.
