Hi, it's Pio with Excess and BET.
Today we're in Serendipity 3
to try the world's most expensive sundae.
Hi, I'm Joe Calderone,
creative chef here at Serendipity.
I've been here for 31 years,
and today we're making the golden opulence sundae.
It's just the ultimate treat.
First we take our Baccarat crystal goblet from France,
the same goblet used in the Vatican.
And then we're going to line our glass, 23 karat edible gold.
And then we take our ice cream-
That's vanilla?
That's vanilla, Tahitian vanilla.
It's infused with Madagascar vanilla.
Is it going to be good?
It's going to be really good.
People pay a lot of money for this.
And now we're going to take our chocolate sauce.
This is made from the rarest
and the most expensive chocolate in the world,
which is Amadei Porcelana and Amadei Ciao.
Oh, look at this. You want to get that piece of gold?
Gold doesn't really have any taste,
but it does have a really cool texture.
And then we put another scoop of ice cream,
more 23 karat edible gold, more gold,
and these are almonds that are coated in candy
that are dipped in gold.
Nice. Nice, right? It's looking good.
Yes.
Now we can take our last scoop of ice cream,
more gold, more gold, more 23 karat edible gold.
We're going to take our candied fruit from Fauchon in Paris,
and this fruit takes a month to make.
It's soaked in a sugar solution.
This is expensive ice cream.
Very expensive ice cream. You know how much?
No, I don't know.
You want to know?
Mm-hmm (affirmative).
$1,000.
That's the golden opulence sundae.
Looks good, huh?
Yes, it's nice.
Where you get the idea for the sundae?
Well Serendipity was celebrating
50th anniversary, golden anniversary.
So I wanted to make something with gold to celebrate.
Can I get this ice cream for take out?
No, you can't get it take out. What do you want to put this in?
I want to pay and take out.
It doesn't look good in a tin.
What if somebody else tried to sell the ice cream?
No, nobody else can make it.
I would sue them for copyright infringement.
Oh, you got a copyright for this ice cream?
Oh, yes.
Copyright.
Yes.
Who celebrity come and eating this ice cream?
We have celebrities come, but I can't tell you.
Why?
It's a secret.
But I can tell you that we've had-
I'm a celebrity too.
I know you are.
Like me come to eating this ice cream.
Yeah, so now I can tell people Pio came to eat this, right?
Can I eat the flower too?
Yeah, the flower is made of sugar so you can eat it.
It's sugar dipped in gold.
This is the world's only dessert caviar.
Caviar?
Caviar.
With the ice cream?
With the ice cream, but it's low in salt,
it's infused with Grand Marnier and passion fruit.
So it's a sweet caviar.
Can I try it now?
Sure. I made it for you.
It's the best ice cream
I see in my life.
I like it because the price is $1,000, but for me it's free.
That's why I like it.
