At Serendipity in New York City, you can rub shoulders with celebrities while enjoying gourmet burgers, chicken and fish. If you still have room for dessert, try the Grand Opulence Sundae. At $1,000, it is considered the most expensive ice cream treat in the world. How to make this extravagant dessert? Start with 5 scoops of premium vanilla ice cream made from Tahitian Vanilla beans and Madagascar Vanilla and cover them in 23k edible gold leaf. Drizzle the whole affair with the world's most expensive chocolate, Amedei Porceleana and chunks of rare Chuao Chocolate. Then suffuse the sundae with Parisian candied fruit, gold dragets, truffles and Marzipan Cherries. Place a tiny bowl of Grand Passion Caviar on top and serve in a baccarat Harcourt crystal goblet with an 18k gold spoon. For the finishing touch, add a gilded sugar flower by Ron Ben-Israel. There you have it. If you want it, Serendipity requests 48 hours notice to prepare one just for you.
