<p>In the mood to treat yourself to something special? A Golden Opulence sundae from New York City&#8217;s Serendipity 3 restaurant  is covered in 23-carat edible gold leaf and is also rich in flavor thanks to Tahitian vanilla ice cream infused with Madagascar vanilla beans and chunks of rare Chuao <a href="https://commonplacefacts.wordpress.com/tag/chocolate/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">chocolate</a> from <a href="https://commonplacefacts.wordpress.com/tag/venezuela/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Venezuela</a>.</p>



<p>In lieu of Hershey&#8217;s syrup and a maraschino cherry, this sundae is drizzled with one of the world&#8217;s most expensive chocolates, from Amedei Porcelana, and then adorned with candied fruits, gold covered almonds, chocolate truffles and marzipan cherries.</p>



<p>The dish also features a dollop of sweet Grande Passion caviar served with a mother of pearl spoon and a gilded sugar flower. The whole shebang looks as good as it tastes, served in a Baccarat crystal goblet (yours to keep) with an 18-carat gold spoon (not included).</p>



<p>The price? $1,000.</p>



<p>If you care to splurge to purchase this dessert, you will have purchased the world&#8217;s most expensive dessert, according to <a href="https://commonplacefacts.wordpress.com/tag/guinness/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Guinness World Records</a>.</p>
