any desert lover,that houses the sacred recipe of the famous Frrrozen Hot
Chocolate,that Marylin Monroe , Andy Warhol and even first lady Jacky O used to
drool over! This book is sold only inside the 'Serendipity' restaurant located

It prevails to be one of my
greatest fantasies to visit this awesome little place and sip the drops of
heaven in the cup!..so anyone who has been there,done that can share their
experience here!..:)
In 2004, Serendipity celebrated
its fiftieth anniversary by introducing the record-breaking Golden Opulence
Sundae, listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the most expensive
dessert, at $1000. It is made with 5 scoops of the Tahitian vanilla bean ice
cream, Madagascar vanilla covered in 23K edible gold leaf, drizzled with the
world's most expensive chocolate, Amedei Porcelana, and covered with chunks of
Chuao chocolate, which is from cocoa beans harvested by the Caribbean Sea on
Venezuela's coast. It is suffused with exotic candied fruits from Paris, gold
dragets, truffles and Marzipan Cherries and topped with a tiny glass bowl of
Grand Passion Caviar, an exclusive dessert caviar, made of salt-free American
Golden caviar, known for its sparkling golden color. It's sweetened and infused
with passion fruit, orange, and Armagnac. The sundae is served in a baccarat
Harcourt crystal goblet with an 18K gold spoon, a petite mother of pearl spoon,
and topped with a gilded sugar flower by Ron Ben-Israel.
